Scroggie Hall Organic Farm, Balmaclellan was the venue for the first "Paint It While It`s There" Event, organised by Alison Chapman of GLARE.
Following a lively Question and Answer Session with David Bellamy at the Coffee Morning in Dalry  Town Hall - and some warming soup - a  group of artists braved the freezing wind and frequent showers to have a go at sketching Blackcraig Hill, along with encouragement from David Bellamy.

The TV Cameras weren`t able  to come that day, so many of the artists came back again on the following Monday, to be filmed for ITV`s Look Around programme.
We didn`t all complete our paintings on the day, but two of the paintings that were finished can be seen on the pinboard.
