They also met with approval from the Selectors of the West Norfolk Artists Association exhibition which is currently running in St Nicholas Chapel, King&#8217;s Lynn. All three paintings were selected and you can see them along with some 200 other fine artworks until 1.00pm on Tuesday 3rd September 2019. The exhibition is open every day from 10.30am &#8211; 4.30pm, except on the last day when it closes early to allow for the take-down during the afternoon.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-791\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/learnwatercolour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/rainy-day-custom-house.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"791\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/learnwatercolour.com\/blog\/new-paintings\/rainy-day-paintings\/attachment\/rainy-day-custom-house\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/learnwatercolour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/rainy-day-custom-house.jpg?fit=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"600,600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rainy-day-custom-house\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rainy Day, King&amp;#8217;s Lynn.
