What a fantastic day we had today.
Nicky had been to me previously once before and had enjoyed herself so much she bought her friend Morag a gift voucher for her birthday.
Morag had never painted in her life before and was nervous to say the least''.I'm sure I'm wont be able to do ''she said--if I had a £ for every time I heard that I would be rich!.
You can see from the pictures that both their paintings were quite different, Nickys sky was very dramatic and stormy while Morag's was calmer. Nicky put some big rocks in the sea for her big waves to go crashing over and Morag put some lovely pebbles on her beach, they both turned out very good pictures and really enjoyed them selves, afterwards I showed them the encaustic art and they both had a go and produced some very 'interesting''pictures!!!! Morags was particularly good!!!! Hopefully both of them will be able to come and put their paintings into the exhibition and attend the private viewing.
Morag had bought her little fox terrier with her-Monica.
Monica is a very special dog and goes everywhere that Morag goes.
She knows when Morag is going to have an epileptic fit and warns her so she can go and sit down and make herself safe.Monica started doing it on her own, by acting strangely before the fit started, when they realised what was happening she was sent for special training to make sure that the signal she gives Morag cant be mistaken for anything else-she has been trained to jump up and bite her on the bum!!!
It is thought that she can sense a change in the pheromones that Morag gives out when a fit is immanent, before she had the dog she was confined to the house , too scared to go out, so the little dog has been a real life saver.She was very well behaved the whole time she was with us, and a real pleasure to have around.
