Pearl's Painting


I have had Pearl here today to paint a one 2 one. Her daugter bought it for her as a birthday present.

Pearl had been to my exhibtion in Leominster a couple of months ago and had told her daughter that she fancied having a go at painting, as her daughter dosent live localy she had to do some detective work to track me down!

In the end she just put my phone no in her mums card with a message saying to ring up for her birthday present--Pearl was over the moon with her gift, but because she runs a busy pub/hotel she couldnt come on a Saturday for a class so had to have a one 2 one.
She admitted to being very nervous when she arrived here this morning, but soon settled down and was amazed at the speed that she created the painting, we stopped for a couple of breaks but we were still done in around 2 hours.She handled the knife as if she had used one for years, and loved the effect it gave on her trees.She was chuffed to bits with the finished painting and wants to do some more.

It turns out that they have a great funtion room at the pub(The Black Horse) that we can use for classes.

As we have several students that come from Leominster it will be useful for holding classes there. Pearl has also gone away with some of my flyers and a big poster to put up in the pub.
I would imagine after her regulars see her painting I will be getting a phone call to book a class there!
