THEY’VE been showing Yorkshire really is an oil painting for over 100 years - and today they take centre stage in Doncaster.
A legion of 27 artists from Doncaster Art Club have taken over a section of Doncaster Museum and Art gallery to show the public the quality of work which is being produced by a selection of keen amateurs from all across the borough.
Group chairman Mike Shaw reckons his home county is just great for painting.
He said: “Our exhibition certainly has paintings of the Yorkshire landscape, but it also has scenes from places like Cornwall and the Mediterranean too.
“The great thing about Yorkshire for a painter is there are plenty of subjects here.
“We do meet as a club to paint outside around Doncaster, at places like Lord Scarborough’s Sandbeck Hall estate, with his permission of course. There are a number of pictures painted there in our exhibition this year. There some beautiful landscapes in and around Doncaster.”
In all, there are 140 paintings on show at the museum this week, with painters allowed to contribute up to nine each.
The show is the biggest exhibition of the year for the club and its members, and the members are hoping the public will turn out in force to see their work.
Mike’s paintings will be among them.
The retired civil servant from Bessacarr has lived in Doncaster for 33 years, and says the group is keen to recruit more young painters since most of the members are middle aged.
Almost all are amateurs, who have held jobs down while doing their work.
The one exception is professional David Curtis, from Misson, the club’s president, who is well known for his landscapes and townscapes. The club has been running since 1897 and members were instrumental in pressing for a museum and art gallery in Doncaster more than a century ago.
Fans of the exhibition include Cynthia Ransome, Doncaster Council’s cabinet member for communities.

SEMA Announces Speakers for Its 1st Technical Conference and Exhibition
The event will include training courses as well as a technical conference and exhibition. The technical conference will review the reliability issues associated with PV modules based on a new SEMA reliability report written by Robert Schwenke of SciTech Consultants, Kurt Scott of Atlas, and Dr. Dasgupta Das and Professor Patrick McCluskie of the University of CALCE inMaryland. The conference also will feature input from the SEMA membership and various industry research and development groups. The report will be available for free to conference attendees and SEMA members.
Speakers, including Allen Zielnik of Atlas, will review industry programs that address long-term module reliability implications with a discussion on understanding and determining the reliability of PV modules over their 25-year lifetime.
David Torp of IPC, along with other respected industry experts, will discuss existing and emerging solar standards during the standards session of the conference. This session also will include a review of gaps in standards as well as the challenges and development of international quality standards. Inverter and microinverter reliability issues and roadmaps/future trends, as well as the INEMI roadmap for PV will be presented by the session's speakers, one of these being Wayne Chang from Pivotry Consultancy. Additionally, PV module manufacturing leaders from Flextronics and Celestica will present module and manufacturing issues.
The outlook for the global solar industry will be discussed by industry experts Paula Mints from Navigant, Philip Heinz from Prismark and Jon Custer-Topai from Custer Consulting. Finally, speakers including Matthew Holzmann from Christopher Assocates will review hazards for modules, including fire, warranty, theft and traceability.
In addition to the training courses and technical conferences, there will be an exhibition consisting of many leading companies in the solar industry.
