About This Group
If a photograph is worth a thousand words, a photograph of a bench can be worth a book. The Benches Group is the place for such artwork, where we share our representations and responses. It is for artwork of seating for 2 or more people, as opposed to a seat or a chair, as the emotions involved are looking at relationships – between each other and with our environment, especially an environment for a bench and its occupants created to last.
We love having new members, so if you’d like to join our benchmark group, please take time to read our Rules & Guidelines
Please note that we do not accept artwork without an accompanying Description.
In our third closerun challenge with some wonderful bench entries this infectiously feelgood image is the clear winner ..
Well done Barbara and to everyone for posting your great work here
Your hosts are Maggie (aka dinghysailor1), Peter Hill (Originator) and Tatiana R. Please feel free to contact any of us with any questions, comments, or suggestions.
