In memory of Diana Sweeting
Sadly one of our members, Diana Sweeting, passed away at the end of September.
Diana was a very talented botanical painter, having started at the age of 12 years. She was a long serving member of the group, having joined in 2015.
We will miss her, especially her sense of humour.
Below are a few of her esquisite paintings.
