Severn Valley Country Park Workshop

You couldn't wish for a better setting to paint in...listening to the steam trains passing by and the birds singing...The Severn Valley Country Park is just brilliant! It was lovely to see Jackie-who has been to quite a few workshops--she lives only a few miles away so it was very handy for her...

can you believe this was the first time painting?

Helen lives nearby as well..she bought along her youngest daughter Mikki for the first time---Helen has been to quite a few workshops now---think she has got the addiction like many of my students!

Mikki went for the light delicate effect--the painting lends itself to either bold or delicate so every ones happy!

Another first timer-Silvia--love the flowing grasses...

Doreen's first time too--she wanted a more delicate sky and added a touch of grey afterwards to liven it up just a touch...

It was Sally's first time too..and it was a birthday treat for her--she bought along a homemade cake-made with eggs from her own chickens and homemade lemon curd--it would have been rude to refuse a piece! It was to die for--don't thin one piece will make a difference on the scales at SW tonight--blimey Ive been so busy the past few days I should have lost loads!

all hard at work..

Bill has worked so hard lately bless him--he is enjoying 5 mins peace here outside the room -what beautiful views!

You can just see the steam train between the trees,..

Lovely results ladies--will look forward to seeing you all again!                                                                             Many thanks to Susie who organised the demo and workshop at the venue--and made the lovely sandwiches we had for lunch!
