Elvie O’Hanlon

Elvie lives in Ringwood now but spent most of her life in Asia.

She was born in Manila, Philippines and has lived in many coun-

tries throughout Asia and the Middle East. India, in particular,

provided a rich source of subjects and study opportunities and it

was here that she developed her love of painting.

Elvie works predominantly in oils. She attended Nanyang

Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, Central St. Martin’s in

London and Dubai Arts Centre in the United Arab Emirates.

In the past, most of her works were in still life and figures. But

since she attended Roger Dellar's courses (Royal Academy artist

and tutor), she has started painting in landscape. Plein Aire

paintings in Portugal, Venice and Crete have recently been com-

pleted.

Her recent work the “BEDOUIN” shows the influence of the

Middle East. Through her work, she illustrates the varied cul-

tures of the countries she has lived in.

Visit to the Shell Art Collection at Beaulieu

On a sunny autumn day 14 people were welcomed to Beaulieu by the curator of the collection, Nichola

Balfour-Penny. We were taken to the building which has housed the collection since it was moved from

Shell House in London. Nichola gave a talk, illustrated by slides, about the history of the collection. The

earliest advertising was introduced in 1908-1912 in the form of postcards. As motoring became more

widespread the first posters were produced in a format to fit on the side of delivery lorries. With the pro-

liferation of advertising, the company tried to project a “responsible image” by limiting it use of hoard-

ings to its vehicles. The posters often featured women, at a time when they were still struggling to

achieve the right to vote (granted in 1928). In the 1930s Jack Beddington became head of publicity for

Shell. He employed a number of artists such as Paul Nash, John Piper, James Gardner and Graham

Sutherland to produce artwork for Shell. He also worked with John Betjeman to produce the Shell

guides to English Counties and a film unit was established to project a positive image of the company.

Valentine cards were also sent to female customers until the 1970s. Next we visited the climate controlled store room where the collection is kept, (the club president Pam

Mason-Smith becoming lost in the labyrinthine building on the way, until a search party retrieved her),

and finally we visited the permanent exhibition in the main motor museum. All agreed it was a most in-

teresting and informative afternoon as we thanked Nichola for her presentation and the time she dedi-

cated to us.
