The restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath

A Year at the Boat Pond is an exhibition of watercolours, acrylics and mixed media that documents the restoration of the ecology at the Model Boating Pond on Hampstead Heath in London following the rebuilding of its dam in 2015-16.  The paintings record the aquatic and meadow planting taking root and growing through the seasons.

Journeying through the places that she is emotionally attached to, and looking at how they are all intimately linked by the changing global climate, Dee McLean’s paintings reflect how beautiful and precious our ecosystems are, exploring the relationship between our landscapes and ourselves.

She has written a book in conjunction with the exhibition which explores the geology and history of the Heath, the work done on the ponds and looking at the how the changing global climate has led to the changes in our weather patterns making this environmentally important work necessary.  Dee will give you an opportunity to hear about the project in a talk on Saturday 13th and Saturday 20th at 2pm.

Dee studied Illustration at Harrow School of Art and went on to a career in Medical Illustration.  She has also had several exhibitions of botanical paintings and drawings and taken on private commissions.  Dee is now bringing her love of science and art back into painting, drawing and writing, and hopes that through her art she can remind us that we can all play a part in protecting our own environment.

Dee’s projects take her around the world, painting directly from the geology, flora and fauna she finds on her travels, looking to capture the ephemeral nature of our environment.

Following on from this show, Dee has an exhibition of her Gulf Coast paintings in Covington, Louisiana, USA in May 2019.

All Dee’s projects have a local charity attached to them.  Heath Hands, who are the voluntary organisation on the Heath, will receive a donation from all sales of original paintings, the book, prints and cards from this project.

Weekly drop-in Hatha yoga classes suitable for all levels, beginners welcome. Come and practice some lovely postures in a safe environment that will leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed. I am certified by the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) and classes include a mixture of pranayama, postures and relaxation with focus on correct alignment. The steady flow of postures will improve your strength and flexibility. Mats, blocks and bricks provided or you are welcome to bring your own.

Artworks inspired by the theme 50:50 will feature in an exciting new exhibition by more than 30 members of the East Finchley Open Artists (EFOA).

The exhibition features paintings, original prints, photographs and wall-mounted three-dimensional work including textiles and ceramics that interpret the theme 50:50 in a variety of ways, from half-and-half, positive/negative, or literally 50x50cm square.

All of the artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them, David Waller explores the idea of twins in a large wall-hung mixed media piece; Christine Watson focuses on the simplicity of the rise and fall of steps at Trajan’s Market in her mezzotint; Cathy Burkinshaw presents a split-screen take on nature in her mixed media work Portobello Road; and photographer Peter Kyte juxtaposes two angled facades of buildings in Sheffield.

Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers. Every summer the EFOA hosts Open House weekends, as well as other public events throughout the year.

HGO presents a new production of Domenico Cimarosa’s masterpiece of opera buffa, ‘THE SECRET MARRIAGE’. ‘What a treat to bring Cimarosa’s sparkling, effervescent opera to life’, says director SINÉAD O’NEILL. ‘It was an immediate hit in 1792, and it’s easy to see why. Fast-paced, with direct, well-drawn characters, tangled love affairs, confusion and misunderstandings, it is light-hearted, touching, and charming.’

Artworks inspired by the theme 50:50 will feature in an exciting new exhibition by more than 30 members of the East Finchley Open Artists (EFOA).

The exhibition features paintings, original prints, photographs and wall-mounted three-dimensional work including textiles and ceramics that interpret the theme 50:50 in a variety of ways, from half-and-half, positive/negative, or literally 50x50cm square.

All of the artists have prepared new works especially for the exhibition. Among them, David Waller explores the idea of twins in a large wall-hung mixed media piece; Christine Watson focuses on the simplicity of the rise and fall of steps at Trajan’s Market in her mezzotint; Cathy Burkinshaw presents a split-screen take on nature in her mixed media work Portobello Road; and photographer Peter Kyte juxtaposes two angled facades of buildings in Sheffield.

Founded in 2004, East Finchley Open Artists is a group of artists and craftspeople – including painters, printers, photographers, ceramicists, glass makers, jewellers, sculptors, textile artists and basket makers – ranging from those who are starting out in their creative careers to well-established professional artists and lecturers. Every summer the EFOA hosts Open House weekends, as well as other public events throughout the year.

HGO presents a new production of Domenico Cimarosa’s masterpiece of opera buffa, ‘THE SECRET MARRIAGE’. ‘What a treat to bring Cimarosa’s sparkling, effervescent opera to life’, says director SINÉAD O’NEILL. ‘It was an immediate hit in 1792, and it’s easy to see why. Fast-paced, with direct, well-drawn characters, tangled love affairs, confusion and misunderstandings, it is light-hearted, touching, and charming.’

Directed by Sinéad O’Neill

Music Director Chris Hopkins

With the HGO Orchestra.
