Sir,
I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to the 208 people in Mid Argyll who hand-signed my petition to secure the future of Fyne Art Club’s life drawing class to continue under my stewardship and tutorage ongoing for the club since 1999.
I am grateful my handwritten petition includes such professional artist signatories as Jolomo and Alan Cunningham, both of whom have also run life drawing classes in Lochgilphead before me. Thanks to all the Artmap Argyll artists who signed up their support, along with the high school art professors - Neill Cinnamond, Alec Ohnstad and Alison MacAlpine - signing along with many current and former pupils, life drawing models, both past and present, as well as dozens of kindly aware members of the public.
