'Three roses' Signed oils on board Image size 7x9 ins Raffle for British Red Cross

This 80th birthday exhibition is a celebration of Stephanie Dingle's delightful work. Her paintings glow with colour reminiscent of the Fauves (the name meaning 'wild beasts' was given to a group of artists which included Matisse, Derain, Vlamink and Marquet because of their exhiberant use of colour). Her style is naïve and these two factors add to the joyfulness which pervades all of her work.Her frequent visits to France give the inspiration for many of her seascapes and landscapes, while the inspiration for her flower paintings comes from her own Cheshire garden.

Stephanie is offering 'Three roses' a beautifully framed oil painting on board (image size 7 x 9 inches) to be raffled in aid of the British Red Cross.The draw will take place on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm, just before the close of the exhibition and the result will be published in the Quattro magazine, on their website and here. This is your opportunity to win an original oil painting for the price of a £5 raffle ticket. Do call in and enjoy Stephanie's highly collectable work.
