Class of Feb 7th--Birch Trees













































I really enjoyed myself in the class today.
Sue and Pete are brother and sister and came from quite a distance to attend.
Both were bit apprehensive about it-both being convinced really that they wouldn't be able to paint anything like the birch tree subject!
They soon settled down to the job in hand and we had lovely time!

The photo of Pete with the big knife is not as it looks--he found it better to use than a paint brush to line up where he was putting his trees!

Pete noticed the paintings that were hanging in the dining room waiting to be sent to the commissioner and recognised them both as Swallow Falls and Nylon Bay----funnily enough he and his sister had spent the Christmas before last at Nylon Pool -Tobago. Id never heard of the place before!

As you can see they both produced some beautiful paintings as well as having a great laugh as well!
Pete was taking photos on his phone and sending them to his friend to prove he was actually painting the picture-he is using his finished painting as his screen saver on it!
Im sure everyone will be impressed with their paintings when they see them!
