Mystical Moon Workshop

Mystical Moon workshop..photo's don't show up the beautiful colours chosen by the students..

Anna used the lovely purples and pinks/blues to create her painting...very mystical when it was finished!

Evelyn and Ann came a long way today..from Rhyl,and St Asaph.Evelyn chose the blue shades-and used the metallic shades of blue and silver for the foliage.it looked beautiful when it was dry..hard to believe that Evelyn had not painted before!

Loved Jan's  combination of grey background and violet and gold foliage--will nick that combination at some point LOL!!

Jodie came along with her Mum- Helen who was painting her 5th painting...she wanted to do a sunset painting rather than a moonlight one...and it worked lovely--had to send Bill home for some yellow paint as I had not taken any with me for this workshop! But this is one of the quickest paintings we do in class and we were still finished on time.Wonderful results first time!!

Helen has been 5 times--artist brooch next time Helen! She chose to do the grey background but asked if she could use all of the different coloured metallic paint for her foliage.. I was not sure if it was going to work or not.but as you can see from the picture below it worked so well...blue,copper,gold,green,red,violet,silver,

you would never know this was Ann's first time painting would you? Beautiful results

Great fun and great results..well done everyone xx

1 Year Today....

I cant believe its a year today since we lost our fur baby --Sparky cat....

he was a handsome bugger...

who looked as if butter wouldn't melt...

got into all sorts of funny positions...

had some huge white teeth..

tried his hardest to look like one of my favourite ornaments..

always nicked the best seat in the house,

loved to lie in the sun next to his favourite little mate,

got his legs in a right tangle sometimes..

always had his one fang showing...

could almost talk...

and loved to beg for some ham....

he was our boy and we miss him so bloody much everyday...wont be getting another one cos once you have had the best that's it..... RIP Sparky xxx

OOOOOPS...

Bill cleaned out the external filter today and found these baby guppies in there...they must get sucked up from inside the tank...must be 3 or 4 weeks since the filter was cleaned before so poor little buggers could have been in the dark since then..

Michaels Private Workshop

9 year old Rose was painting alongside  Dad Michael today. Michael's wife had booked me to go to their home in Church Stretton for a private workshop for his birthday. Rose was a natural bless her...she followed my instructions perfectly and quickly had a brilliant background going on...

Dad Michael was pretty good at following instructions as well...lovely atmospheric sky developed very quickly, with sea , beach and bushes following swiftly afterwards..

Well done both of you...beautiful results!
