Here are some of the happy students having a go at encaustic art--, I don't have photos of them all as Bill disappeared with the camera several times!I do have all the names of the students shown, but they are downstairs on my notebook so will update this post tomorrow!
What I do know is everyone really enjoyed it-we had some stunning results.
Lin and Dave came over from Hereford to bring the cards Lin had done of the ''Boob-tiful'' painting for breast cancer charity Breakthrough,I'm so chuffed with the results of the cards-though she only had my camera's photo image to work from-I'm sure she will get better results from the pics she took with her rather better camera!
Lin stayed and took loads more photos of my paintings, glad she did cos 2 of them sold while she was there-both of which she had not got pics of before, they will make great cards!
Lin had a go at the encaustic art-she really was a natural at it, a crowd soon gathered watching as she sat ironing the wax into a very pleasing landscape painting in seconds!Her orange/brown lanscape was really stunning!Dave went walk-about on the showground while we were talking paintings/photos/cards and really enjoyed himself-he was lucky enough to see the Grand Parade--its one of the most emotional things ever-they play 'Land of Hope and Glory' as all the steam engines etc go around the arena-it reduces me to tears every time-I try to stay in the marquee busy when the Grand Parade happens now! The same thing happened to Dave as he watched, its impossible not to get emotional-but he was bear hugged by a chap standing by him who said ''Im glad its not only me!''
