Unexpected space in class

I had a call from Greg who was supposed to be joining us for the first time next Saturday to do the Emerald Wood Class.

He hadn't realised that it was his daughters birthday until his wife reminded him at the weekend! They are off to visit her, but he has said that when they are back he AND his wife will be booking up for a class.

This means there is one place going spare for this popular painting.

If you would like to join in but would like to bring a friend I can fit 7 people in so please feel free to get in touch.

This painting is suitable for all abilities from first timers upwards!

Serenity In Green

After finding that the limeted palette of sap green and black worked well I decided to continue the theme onto another painting.

This time the canvas is 50 cm wide and 100 cm long.

The colour has not come out well on the photograph-its actualy more muted like the previous painting Tranquility In Green.

I have shown a close up of the detail in the bottom of the painting.

I went back to it several times and adjusted it.The grasses were left very simple to start, but It didnt quite work, so i added some heads to them and it worked a treat.

Im really pleased with the result.

The price is £180 including P+P in Uk.

please get in touch if you are interested in reserving this work.

Please note this is an oil painting and it will not be dry enough to post for several weeks.

Highley WI

We had a lovely time on Tuesday evening with the ladies of Highley WI.
We got there in plenty of time and set up the display stands and table.
Im never sure what people are expecting when they are told they are going to see an oil painting demonstration-it always turns out that they are totaly amazed at how laid back the talk and demos are.The paintings take shape so quickly that people cant belive it!
The usual oohhhs and aaaahhhhs and amazing's came thick and fast when the finished paintings were handed round for closer inspection after I had finished!!!
The winner of the draw chose the waterfall painting and i donated the "Summer Day" painting to the WI. They support the "Fast Response" and will use the money raised fromthe painting to help this worthy cause.

Space in Class "Eternal Dawn"

There is one place left for the class of April 5th.
I have had an unexpected cancellation for "Eternal Dawn"
If you would like to join this class please get in touch via the website www.paintingmyway.co.uk
This painting is suitable for all students from 1st timers to more experienced artists.

Reiki

Some great news recived today--Jan --my great friend is going to be starting up her Reiki practise at Clements Beauty and Natural Health Clinic in Teme Street , Tenbry.
She will be there on Tuesday 29th April , Wednesday 30th April and Thursday 1st May.

Jan charges just £30 per session and its the best £30 you will spend!!!!!!

Its the most relaxing experience Ive ever had.The tranquil music in the background helps relax you, and when you feel the heat from Jans hands as she works from top to bottom of your body, its very easy to drift away-I dropped off to sleep towards the end of my session, but when Jan gently woke me up I felt so relaxed it was unreal, then afterwards I had sooo much energy it was great!

It balances your body and your mind!
Give Jan a ring on 07837939797 to book your session which lasts aprox one and a half hours.

Todays Class

Today Dorothy and Norlene returned to paint this seascape.Its been quite a while since I have seen them. Norlene had a gift voucher to use that her daughter had bought her.
They decided to paint a different coloured vesion of Summer Day as that would fit in with their decor at home better than the usual!
It proved to be a good choice.The red's and orange's were quite subtle after it was blended onto the white undercoat.
They really enjoyed bashing the paint onto the canvas and tickling it afterwards to get the brush marks out!!
The paintings developed quite quickly, and the finishing touches of the marigolds and grasses in the forground really set off the paintings a treat!

Tranquil Moods

Tranquil Moods was picked up today by its new owner.
Jan fell in love with it as soon as she saw it a short while ago when she came here for a one to one!
So its now hanging in Jans 'snug' Im going to call by and get some pics in situ soon, so get the kettle on Jan!!!
