Painting of Randwick Wap
At the last Wap many visitors saw a distinctive and eye catching painting by local artist Yvonne Tester.
Yvonne has kindly donated it to the parish and it hangs in Randwick Village Hall. To see a larger photograph of the painting click here.
Yvonne also painted these life-size figures.
Yvonne wrote, ” I went to a local exhibition a couple of years ago which comprised local artists’ portrayals of Stroud. Though the cottages and views were beautiful, she felt that Stroud was not only picturesque but vibrant, eclectic and exciting.
My endeavour to represent Stroud in the way I see it culminated in images from Randwick Wap. The costumes, ceremonies and traditions captured the essence I was looking for, land and custom, movement and magic, a deeper understanding of the world encircled by tales and memories.”
