This month’s challenge has the theme of “Flowers”. As always, we have arranged for a guest judge to select their favourite three images.
The guest judge for this month’s challenge was Adelia Brito, Owner of the Florist “Alegrete” in Almancil. Florista Alegrete caters for virtually all events. She does Floral art and also does some training on botanical topics. Needless to say that they also have a delivery service too.
We thought it would be fitting to have a florist preside over a challenge with such a direct connection and as such, Adelia selected the following three images as her favourites from a very challenging selection of 36 images coming in from Nineteen members!
Well done to everyone for participating. And again, it’s great to see new members getting their work out into the world too!
This year’s Order of Merit will be updated and circulated quite soon.
Our next Exhibition (Print) will be in March 2023 and will have a theme “Architectural Details” so take a look at the link for more details.
