A Squirrels Eye View Workshop

Joy was painting with us for the first time--she made the journey from Llanidloes with her friend Elaine (my personal manager!) Elaine has organised 2 workshops in Llanidloes in Nov for me and has got one full and the other nearly full--hence her new title of personal manager!
Cynthia getting her sky done---
Irene has quite a journey and always comes down the day before and stays at the nearby Travel lodge,she chose to do the browns and creams version of the painting...
Elaine chose the fresh greens and yellows version--
the scary part of the painting was doing the black tree trunks--everyone was holding their breath at this stage!
Getting there Elaine.....
you would never believe that this was Joys first painting would you? She seemed to find it easy to do and followed my instructions carefully. Adding the trees as the canvas was turned round on the easel made it easier!
Elaines painting is coming along great here..
as is Cynthias...
Bill had to go and take some paintings to Church Stretton for an exhibition after I got the class set up this morning. When he got back he got roped into doing some finishing touches to my painting as I was busy supervising the students....
what great results ladies----everyone enjoyed their day---and we will see everyone again soon---maybe see Cynthia and her hubby at the Private Viewing on Monday evening!

wow, how brilliant are they, thats a hard subject, I have been working on similar for ages, but the ladies have done really well and it looks brilliant. Hope you all had fun, sure you did. I am impressed you got the other half to do some too!! Well done ladies/Gents, well done Diane, your a fab teacher.
