The annual exhibition, held at Twyford Hall is always a much anticipated event with some of the best local artists producing works for the event.

The prestigious Best in Show was won by Kathryn Hede for her oil painting 'Morning Mist on the back road'. Kathryn has been a Best in Show winner previously.

The judge for the evening was Grace Paleg, a highly regarded pastel artist and teacher.

In assessing Ms Hede's oil painting, Ms Paleg congratulated Ms Hede on her work.

"This painting happily drew my eye immediately and impressed me with its beautifully balanced composition.

"The brush strokes are masterfully controlled with a striking middle distance and receding background. Congratulations Kathryn," Ms Paleg said.

The painting was sold on the night.
