New Venues....

We have a couple of new things going on at the moment--we delivered some paintings to be displayed in a recently opened pub/restaurant on Wednesday. Neil and Tasha are the new landlords of The FForest Inn , Llanfihangel-Nant-Melan, New Radnor, LD8 2TN.
They are holding their first annual Burns Night tomorrow as Neil is Scottish..
 The menu sounds beautiful-its such a shame we live so far away  or we would be there joining in!
They have got a variety of artwork on show in their restaurant, and we will look forward to seeing some photos of it all in situ soon.
We wish them all the success in the world...and will no doubt be popping over to try their lovely food soon...

We are going over to the Severn Valley Country Park,nr Bridgnorth tomorrow to meet up with the manager re holding a workshop there in the near future..Im going to be doing a demo there on Thursday May 15th for the general public..more details will be announced as and when they are decided!
Its a beautiful part of the country-with beautiful views from the  building where we will be painting-so plenty of inspiration for everyone..

No workshop tomorrow as the room was not available , so its going to be a lovely day off...I'm feeling much better again recently--the stronger Tumeric tablets have kicked in and I'm pretty much pain free again...
Ive been catching up on little jobs around the house that have been waiting to be done--sorted out the food cupboards in the kitchen yesterday-- quite scary how out of date some of the stuff was!
And how come there was 3 boxes of stuff to take up the tip and yet the cupboards are still choc-a -block full?
One of life's little mysteries!

Jessica's 9th Birthday Party

Jessica wanted a painting party for her 9th birthday. She had been with her family a few years ago to one of my workshops and painted Summer Day... today we decided that The Birches would be a good one to do...its acrylic so it was dry for all the girls to take home..

Jessica was lucky that she had  enough room at home to hold her party...we had everyone set up around 2 big tables...

The paintings soon took shape...

dryng off their paintings...

adding detail to the trees,,,

Jessica's Dad had a go as well...

they loved every stage of the painting....

well done everyone--lovely results!

If you would like to hold your own painting party--the cost is just £15 per person if you opt for the smaller 8in x 10in canvas..or you could book for a normal size canvas workshop..please contact me via the website www.paintingmyway.co.uk

We stopped  on the way home for a carvery at The Punch Bowl , and the snow kept coming down while we were in there....we had a bit of a scary journey home as the roads were solid ice beneath the snow....we were very glad to see Greenacres I can tell you!

Happy 70th Birthday Jeannie

We had a lovely time today at our friend Jeannie's 70th birthday party.
Jeannie comes to stay and look after all our pets when we go away.
20 of us went for Sunday lunch at The Down, nr Bridgnorth. It was fabulous-couldnt fault it at all!
Jeannie is one of the nicest people you could wish to meet-a heart of gold bless her.
