Painting on a teabag among art at exhibition of competition entries at Buckler’s Hard

AN EXHIBITION of 20 artworks including one on a teabag are on show at Buckler’s Hard.

The teabag painting is on show alongside a montage of stamps and a wood-slice engraving.

They were among the more unusual submissions for a competition which was judged by the Hon Mary Montagu-Scott, Lord Montagu and Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year Monica Popham.

Winner of the competition was Theresa Forrest, from Sway, with her painting Family Time. Runner-up was fine art graduate and landscape artist Emma Lowres, from Winchester, and third place went to Bernard Mathysse, from Highcliffe, won third place for Sailing at Dusk.

Mary Montagu-Scott said: “This new display is all down to these artists, who have brought colour and life to Buckler’s Hard in so many different ways. We feel these new paintings on display represent a variety of different techniques used from a selection of different mediums and materials.”

The exhibition is free to visit and runs until 3rd November.
