Presentation of portrait to East Ayrshire’s Provost Jim Todd. The Provost came to be a model at our portraiture section .It very quickly developed into an official portrait Ian Hamilton was selected to do it and in 2weeks produced a superb painting . This was presented to our Provost on competition night.I can safely say Provost Todd was delighted with it. He donated the notional cost of framing it to his chosen charity. A great night with good buffet and good company . Thanks to all who contributed .
