<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Last week had a notification from my website that I had sold a painting called "Forest Fire" .. after speaking with Kris who had bought it, it was decided that I should post it next week when there would be someone to sign for it on delivery. .However when I came to look for it to pack up ready we couldn't find
it! Then I remembered it was in exhibition at the Leisure Centre ,Church
Stretton! We went over this afternoon to swap it for another similar
birch painting..and while we were there decided to call in at the Church
Stretton Arts Festival at the school next door where I have 3
paintings on display.. we had a quick chat with the lady on the door,
she checked and said I hadn't sold anything yet and I replied " there is
time yet"</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">While we were looking round we heard someone say " I would like to buy these" and then heard my name mentioned! Anyway we met the lady who we had heard-she was buying them for her husbands birthday, when we went back to the payment desk. She explained that he had spotted them and fell in love--and was going to put them in his office.. he came along a few mins later .. So we had a lovely chat-- I know where the paintings are going to live and they have met the artist--it really made my day and theirs ! While we were driving to Church Stretton I had an email from Angela who wants to commission me to paint a monochrome birches painting.. We spoke earlier on the phone and I am just waiting for confirmation of size etc and I will make a start on it. My health means that it takes longer to paint than it used to, as my arms do not move as I would like, but as long as the 'commissoner' understands that its fine,, I was doing a bit better for a short while after being put on some new tablets, but that has gone back to square one at the moment, well more than square one actually, had a huge flare up happen last night which rendered me pretty much unable to move anything..it had been coming on for a few days but still caught me by surprise with its ferocity.. I should be used to it by now LOL.. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We took the 3 Dyson fans raised by the money from my paintings etc up to the ward on the O'Connor unit at the Royal Shrewsbury hospital last week. The staff were very grateful for them-especially with the hot weather we had for a while... The price has gone up a bit since I bought some last year- they are £250 each now..but there is no noise or blades to injure anyone..so they are ideal for the hospital. I will continue to contribute 25% of my painting sales from my websites towards another fan..I have now donated 6 of these over the past 18 months so think I have done pretty good! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Funny how its worked out... 7 years today we bought our Van ''Bunty'' ..and today Bill was busy peeling off the plastic sign writing ready for her to be sold on to a home that will use her instead of her being stuck on the drive doing nothing.... We will be sad to see her go-- she has served us faithfully, never let us down once.. Will make a great camper van conversion or horse box conversion.. Will post up more photos when she is cleaned right off and 12 months MOT on her...</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We are off in the morning on holiday down to Bude Cornwall.. we are mixing business with pleasure as we will also be delivering 4 paintings to Angela, a collector of my work in nearby St Ives.. It will be the first time we have met, having always sent the paintings via courier previously, so we are looking forward to it very much.. We are spending 4 nights in Bude then travelling back up to Weston Super Mare for 2 nights there.. Looking forward to a relaxing time away with our friends... Lol, it can't be anything other than relaxing as I can't bloody walk anywhere..so lots of sitting on benches people watching for me..and looking forward to chilling with a glass off wine or two back at the caravan in the evening.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Well the sale was a great success...we raised £800 for the O'Connor Haematology Unit at the RSH....which considering the weather was just brilliant! The weather was defiantly against us with the first week being torrential rain..and it wasn't much better the second week with lots of showers around..Bill was a true star-- covering everything up with plastic sheets and uncovering it all every morning.. he said it was like being on the market again! We met some lovely people from all over -including a couple from Perth--who bought a 12in x 24in Stormy Poppies oil painting-- hope they got it back OK!!! It was going in hand luggage I think...Most of the tiny paintings went and the 10in x 12in paintings too.. Plus two 36in x 36in paintings.. The Swallow Falls on the far end of the stands went to a lovely couple up the road along with another 36in x 36in one called Waters Edge</td></tr>

The specialist has tried me on Amitriptyline and now Pregabalin, neither of them have done much at all, except knock me out cold which is not good..so I am now looking at going back to teaching perhaps next year-- fingers crossed... In the mean time I will continue to put my work on my websites, and I will be starting some new works soon-- completely different to what I have been doing but will be easier on my arms,, watch this space..</td></tr>

Lots of bargains to be had.. and we are staying open for an extra day as it is Bank Holiday Weekend... so open all day on the Monday instead of finishing on Sunday..

Well its been ages since my last post on the blog..hopefully I will get some more done on here in the near future!<br />
<br />
I have been busy getting paintings ready for my sale next month,,, <br />
So much to do and the time is flying by so quick...<br />
<br />
I will have lots of paintings on canvas ready to hang,, some done on canvas paper that can be framed behind glass,,and miniature paintings on their own easels.<br />
<br />
Paintings will start from just £6 for the miniatures ,,,lots of bargains to be had in all sizes and subjects,<br />
<br />
I will also have my shabby chic quote slates on sale as well as my greetings cards.<br />
<br />
We will be putting up our Gala Marquee outside the front of our house to house everything...<br />
<br />
It starts the weekend of the Spring Ludlow Food and Drink Festival ,so hopefully there will be a lot of people around!!<br />
<br />

The slates are £4.50 each or 2 for £8.00 <br />
A good sense of humour is required!!! <br />

I have already raised enough money --£880 in the past year to buy 4 Dyson fans for the O'Connor Haematology /Cancer unit at the RSH where my son Jim is being treated.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">While we were away on holiday last week I sold 2 paintings off the <a href="http://www.affordablebritishart.co.uk/">affordable british art</a> website. The one above " Acacia Sunset" is 5ft wide x 1ft deep... not very good for sending by courier as its very likely to get smashed in half en-route.. The last one this size I sold was going to France...so my ever patient hubby bought wood to make a box for it..It worked well but was expensive to do..£50 just for the wood! So Bill suggested we deliver the paintings rather than risk sending them. After checking it out on line I was able to find 2 nights B+B in Weston Super Mare, which is nearby the destination of the paintings for about the same as it would cost me to send them so we are having a mini-break in Weston ! I always include a little pressie to say thanks to the purchasers, and you can see the difference in size of those in the above photo.. The miniatures really do look tiny up against the Acacia Sunset!</td></tr>

We are looking forward to meeting Ange on Thursday morning when we drop the paintings off... then we are off to Glastonbury for a meeting with Steven,, so killing 2 birds with one stone..<br />
Then in June we will also be hand delivering 3 paintings--this time to Looe in Cornwall. Also by coincidence to another Ange !!! This Ange is a collector of my work, having bought and commissioned quite a few paintings off me in previous years,, We are on holiday in nearby Bude , and it made sense to take the paintings with us as again one of them if a big 3ft x 3ft and its always a bit nerve racking sending them via courier -no matter how well you pack them! It will also be lovely to meet with the lovely lady who has bought so much of my art work! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Over 5 years ago I became ill with Polymyagia Rhumatica... something that as a rule affects much older people, though after some research it appears to be getting more and more common in younger people-even in their 30's and 40's.. It all started after having Swine flu at Christmas 2010 , I gradually,over the coming months got stiffer,and stiffer in my arms,legs,back and neck.. The pain was horrendous--I couldn't get off the sofa, off the loo, turn over in bed or get out of the bed,washing my hair was impossible to do on my own. Bill had to pull me up off the sofa and out of bed and dress me..I couldn't even hold my glass of wine!! At the age of 50 that wasn't good.. I couldn't walk or drive..It was a very scary experience. I was having the max dose of Paracetomol, Ibrufen etc plus extras at times--but nothing touched the awful pain. How I got through the painting workshops on a Saturday I really don't know--- I was then prescribed a drug called Naproxen to try and help. I took one tablet and within an hour had a high pitched whistling in my right ear,, when I took a second tablet the next morning the noise increased to an unbearable level --I couldn't hear the TV or hear anyone speaking to me..as if the pain hadn't been enough to cope with! Turns out that tinnitus is a rare side effect of that drug--and it didn't even kill the pain for me. I have been left with the awful noise in my head ever since, and it drives me mad at times. Anyway, eventually in Sept 2011 a lovely young doctor decided that I might have Polymyalgia-although I was ''much too young'' and gave me some tablets called Prednisolone--her words to me were " if it is Polymyalgia, these tablets will seem like a miracle--take 4 tomorrow and 4 on Sunday and ring me on Monday and let me know how how you are" Well she wasn't joking, by Saturday lunchtime I could get off the sofa without help, I enjoyed a glass or 3 of wine in the evening with no pain in my hands and arms and on Sunday morning I leapt out of bed and proceeded to shampoo all the carpets in the house, that I had watched getting grubbier and grubbier while I had been unable to do anything much.. A miracle indeed!!! And so began my journey with the Devils Tic Tacs as I call them.. I started on 20mg a day, and it was wonderful to be pain free after what seemed like forever.. however when I tried to reduce to 17.5 after a week as the GP had said I was back to square one within a few hours..by the end of the day I couldn't move again... I cried.. It seems like it wasn't going to be an easy job to reduce the steroids quickly. Very quickly I got the huge 'Moon Face''.one of the most horrible things about the steroids-- I used to look in the mirror to do my makeup and as fast as I was applying it I was crying it off as I just didn't recognise the person looking back at me.. My weight went up by over 3 st very quickly, and my hair started to fall out, yet my face sprouted more hair than my Bill it seemed at times.. I saw a lovely specialist who explained that I needed to cut down the steroids very,very slowly-- 1/2 mg a month.. Sounds easy doesn't it? My body didn't take kindly to even that tiny drop in steroids and I had to go back to the previous dose where I was comfortable many times and wait to drop again. Then to add to it I started getting very bad bursitis in my heel, causing me to have to use crutches at times..it seems the drop in steroids causes it to flare up.. Eventually last May I managed to get down to 5mg steroids--how happy was I? My moon face had gone, I had lost over 2 st in weight.my hair had grown back--curly -after me taking some amazing supplements called Biotin.... and when I went to see my specialist last May he asked me to keep dropping by 1/2mg a month...so I dropped to 4.5 mg the next day--and wham--I was back to square one again-- I couldn't move in bed that night, couldn't get out of bed in the morning. My body had said enough is enough! My GP told me to go back onto 20 mg of steroids as I was so poorly,, As if that wasn't enough to be going on with ,I had started to get very
bad pain in my neck and throat for which I saw a few different
specialists at several hospitals.. Then I started to get numbness,
electric shocks and pins and needles in both arms and down my legs..I
had tests of all descriptions including an MRI scan. This showed that
my spine has got osteoporosis and has crumbled so bad the spinal cord is
being touched by the discs--it is a lovely S shape from the neck
down...and what I thought was a fatty lump on the top of my back is in
fact where my spine which has curved badly. The steroids have eaten away at my
bones over the years and now am left with this problem as well. All very depressing I can tell you.. I had really bad episode late last year and I realised with a heavy heart that I was no longer able to run my popular workshops any more and announced my early retirement due to my health. We were quite over whelmed at the response, so many messages, phone calls, letters, cards and presents and everyone wants me to carry on.. That would be impossible to do in the previous format in the hall, as I just can't walk. Hopefully after resting, resting and more resting I am hoping to continue to teach small groups of up to 4 people from middle of May, just once or twice a month if I am lucky.. I am taking my time to do as little as possible and fingers crossed, be able to cut down the steroids a little easier than I could when working..<br />
I am hoping to be able to cut back on the strong painkillers --Tramadol,paracetamol and at times Oramorph a little too..but the main thing is getting down the Devils Tic Tacs as they are doing me the most damage .I am having a bad time of it at the moment with bursitis in my right foot,, thought I had cracked it when I bought some special compression socks,, it helped for a while but is back with a vengance today grrrr... anyway you now have the background behind whats caused such a big change in our lives.... blimey that turned into a bloody epic didnt it? </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">. </td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wishing all my very lovely ,loyal students a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy<br /> 2017.... and thank you so much for all your support over the past 13 years...<br /><br />There has been a little U-turn in the plans to retire from teaching due to my ill-health ...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am taking time off
until May to rest and try and get my medications down to a more
reasonable level-which I can only do by resting..</span>and a</span>fter
the huge response from everyone, which was really humbling, I have
decided to try and do some private, personal one to one workshops and
small groups of up to 4 people.. <br />The small numbers mean no walking for me, so I will be able to sit and teach!<br /><br />These workshops will take place once or twice a month..from middle of May onwards.. contact me for more details please...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course any workshops will be dependant on the state of my health on the date and could be cancelled-- but hopfully that wont happen...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But I have realised I couldn't walk away from what I love doing most in the world--teaching you lovely people how to paint! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">groups of up to 4 people will be £40 each and a one to one will be £50 for the usual 16" x 20" canvas.. bigger canvas will obviously be more..</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So if you want to do a particular painting with any friends or family--up to 4 people please have a look at the website <a href="http://paintingmyway.co.uk/a1-gallery2.asp?roomID=10286">http://paintingmyway.co.uk/a1-gallery2.asp?roomID=10286</a> for the subjects available or if you have any ideas on what you would like to paint please get in touch with me..</span></span>Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16456174902661005020noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31861632.post-70597022109662079312016-12-29T12:46:00.000+00:002016-12-29T12:46:52.304+00:00A Catch Up!!!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is with great regret
that I have to announce that I will no longer be running my workshops
after Dec 10th 2016 due to health reasons.<br />It has been a very,very hard decision to make .... <br /><br />We have met many lovely people and made many friends over the 12 years the workshops have been running..<br />Its
been a wonderful journey for all concerned--so many laughs along the
way, as well as the beautiful masterpieces that were created in my
workshops.<br /><br />I know, because you have told me , that I have changed
lives, made you feel confident and opened up a whole new world to you--not many
people can say that and I feel privileged to have been part of that..</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have just 6 workshops left to run as I have had to cancel some . My
last workshop will be on Sat Dec 10th--''Summer Day''... fitting as it
is my signature painting.. so a huge ''Thank You'' to everyone who has
made ''Painting My Way'' what it is today. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I still intend to paint --I will not be hanging up my brushes entirely, but I will be painting pictures to sell, maybe trying some different techniques..but I will be able to paint when I feel able to and rest when I need to.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The website will take on a new look in the new year, and all the pictures of my students can be found here on my blog too..</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> The copyright of all my painting subjects will remain mine ....<br /><br />Bill
and I will miss the Saturday workshops so much...Saturdays just won't
be the same without the 'bashing and tickling' and all the banter that
goes on...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have been quite overwhelmed by all the messages that we have received since I announced the news..thank you everyone </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Diane and Bill xxxx</span></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We have had much fun over the years with various caravans.. all quite old ones, but they have all served their purpose.. Mainly used for staying in at the various shows we do, and useful as storage for paintings in the winter! However I have always yearned for a decent size bathroom... the usual little tiny bathrooms that most caravans have are quite claustrophobic! So I have always been on the lookout for one with an end bathroom.. well last Sunday I found just what I have been looking for.. An Avondale Antrim....we went to have a look and I fell in love,,, The bathroom is bigger than our en-suite at home,, loads of space , a proper shower cubicle and also a full size cooker and fridge too...found a few random things left in her --such as a full size Christmas tree and lights LOL..Also got a full size awning and porch awning with her too,,,</td></tr>

We have decided to have a couple of nights away next weekend to try everything out-she is quite a bit newer than the old one.so will be interesting to see how everything works,,we are not going far from home but looking forward to it just the same.. the parrots are already looking forward to being spoiled by Jeannie who parrot/fish sits for us... She loves it here too-so everyone is happy!</td></tr>

Blimey---I would need one that size just for my makeup LOL...Anyway we decided to that I would use her painting to raise money for the O'Connor Cancer Unit at Shrewsbury Hospital where my son Jim has been treated,, so I will be asking for bids on it shortly and all money will be donated to the unit...</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And when I saw Frankie setting up her stall opposite ours on the Friday evening, I promised myself that if I sold 2 paintings at the show I would buy one of her beautiful mirrors that she makes...I fell in love with this one as the cat reminded me of our dear Sparky Cat,,,, I sold the first painting very early on in the day... and went over to tell her I would buy the mirror when I sold another painting....... then I remembered that I had in fact sold a painting the week before from Visions gallery in Shrewsbury..so I was back there in a shot to buy it.. The workmanship is just wonderful..and worth every penny... It hasnt been hung yet at home---its 3 ft tall and I want it to be exactly right,,, to see more of Frankies beautiful mirrors have a look at her website. <a href="http://www.imaginemirrors.co.uk/">Frankies Mirrors</a></td></tr>
