Watercolours at Wentworth Castle Gardens

All good things must come to an end and so after a six-month bumper programme, the Green UPLIFT calendar closed with the final UPLIFT event, 'Watercolours at Wentworth Castle Gardens.'

In this special one-off event, UPLIFTER’s got the opportunity to work with super talented watercolour artist, Anna Connor.

Building on her love of nature, Anna paints plants and flowers in domestic settings. Anna's work can be viewed here: www.annaconnor.net

With the run of the Greenhouse and Community rooms at Wentworth Castle Gardens, UPLIFTER's enjoyed a chilled day of watercolour painting taking in the Autumn tones.

It really has been an amazing six months of Green UPLIFT events! We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our fantastic artists, partners, participants and in particular our funders, we are hugely grateful. 

We really hope that this national pilot will demonstrate our hugely important outdoor ‘play’ and connecting with nature is for our souls, returning us to our most natural state - now more than ever and fingers crossed for more funding for this kind of work. Our outdoor work will continue with ‘Rewilding the Mind’, funded by Creative Minds, so watch this space.

We echo the thoughts of one of our fabulous UPLIFTER's, Sandra:

"Thank you. It’s been a lovely year with lots of great memories along the way."
