Faith in Art Group at Meet inside entrance to Sainsbury Wing, National Gallery
May 22, 2009 from 6pm to 10pm
Guided tour to see paintings Peter talks about in the current Faith in Art series. Post-tour chance to chat together across the road in St Martin in the Fields church Crypt Cafe. All welcome.
There are some videos on this site of the lectures Peter gave during last Advent so you can see how good they are. He's brilliant, really gives an insight into how art developed and the group is a lovely - and growing - community.
Peter himself…
Hello Lynda, Many thanks for the warm welcome! Nope, haven't seen Peter Delayney's advent lectures. I didn't know about them. How were they? If i can make it to the daytime lectures, i will come along. Just depends on the work…
Hello, Marie and welcome to the Art group. Have you seen the video of Peter Delaney's Advent art lectures? Well worth having a look at.
I don't know if you already attend the lunchtime lectures but the next series starts next Tuesday, 5…

Peter himself is a practising artist and also heavily into music and drama. Some members are artists, art historians, have written books on art, are art teachers. Some like me are ignoramuses dying to learn.
The next series is three lectures, one on each of the next three Tuesdays. Sandwiches and tea/coffee are provided free.
Also, we'll visit the National Gallery on Friday 22 May. Peter treats us all to dinner after that visit so anyone who wants to go to that needs to let him know in advance.
Thanks to poor Art teaching at school, I believed for 40 years that I had no talent for visual art. But Peter's Lent lectures last year got me started because I didn't think it fair to pass comment on artists' work when I didn't know how easy or difficult it was to produce any kind of artwork. I now sketch and love my pencils so much that I haven't got into paint much yet. But I can see that I will because I'm already intrigued by ideas about light and colour.
How about you?

We haven't started any discussions in the Art group on here yet so please feel free to start one or two of your own.
Thank you for your warm welcome Lynda. I live in an isolated village where a combination of transport difficulties and personal health issues make it difficult to get out and be part of a larger community. It was a…

Psalm 118 1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.…See More
