Van Gogh’s Starry Night

On 11th May 2019 an exciting art event, Art for Park’s Sake, which was hosted by The Friends of the Park, took place in Harrow Weald Recreation Ground (known locally as Boxtree Park). Among the activities taking place, the local community were welcomed to add their own touches to some well-known paintings, which were outlined on the canvases by several local artists.

Cheryl Gould, the President of Harrow Arts Society, was in attendance and commented: “We encourage people to have a go and paint, whether it is something they have tried before or not. It can help children and young people and is so much fun”.

The result of the community’s efforts is what you can now see hanging here in the Parklife Café. It certainly was fun and produced some lovely artwork which we hope you will enjoy.

“Local artist Tamara Mattingly “Our local friends certainly had stars in their eyes when they set to work on this canvas. Of course the original was created by the master Vincent Van Gogh, but we think that this interpretation of Starry Night is just brilliant. A big thank you to local artist Tamara Mattingly.”

All proceeds support community park projects and activities.
