Droitwich Spa Art Society

I have been asked to travel all the way to Droitwich Spa Art Society to do my Painting My Way Demonstration. Its quite a distance from us , but we will make a day of it and travel there in the morning have a look round Droitwich and have the demo in the evening.

Its a large group of over 6o members, it will make a change to have 2 hours to do the demo in--usually at the WI's I only have around an hour to do the 2 paintings!

Usually I get asked many more questions when I'm at the art society/club do's so the extra time will be useful.
Its not until November but the way the time is flying by it will soon be here!

Space in Class "Summer Day"

I have one space left for this Saturdays class "Summer Day" sat march 15th
This is one of the most popular paintings that we do in class.
I have had a cancellation due to ill health.

If you are interested in joining this class please get in touch via the www.paintingmyway.co.uk site.
This painting is suitable for everyone -even first timers.

Infinate Hope

This painting is being used on the cover of a book called "Infinate Hope" By Jeff Lucas.

Its called "Guess Why He's Happy"

Birthday Cake!!

Bill has been busy in the kitchen all day making a chocolate birthday cake for my nephew's 12th birthday.Of course we had to try it, just to make sure it was ok---Bill trimmed off the top so that it would ice better and of course we cleaned out the bowl after he made the filling and topping- oh boy ---its beautiful and we delivered it to his home earlier this evening.

I hope they dont eat it all, we will be round for a slice tomorrow!!!!!

Class in Telford.

p

The students are in for a surprise when we do the Birch Tree class in Telford.

Sharleen and Dennis run a company selling and setting up projectors etc for universities and companies etc and they are letting us use the room at their company headquaters.

The room is already set up with videos and camera's and a big screen, so the students will be able to watch everything on the screen, and we might even make a video of the class! Its already fully booked-an extra one is in the class actualy.I will be running classes there regularly hopefully, I get a lot of students from over that way so it will save them having to travel.

Book Cover

"Guess Why He's Happy" is safely in its new home in Goring By Sea.

The image is going to be used as a be used as a book cover by the new owner.

I will post more details when I get them.

I have a one to one tomorrow-cant reveal anything else as the painting is going to be a Christmas pressie for her husband!

I'm really looking forward to doing this one-its going to be a on a great big canvas so will be very impressive when finished!

The Private Viewing

The private viewing went very well on Wednesday evening , everyone enjoyed themselves very much.As you can see 2 of my 'smallest acorns 'came from Telford with their mum, they are stood proudly with their paintings.

The time went so quickly-one minute it was fairly quiet the next minute it was heaving with people.

There was plenty of cheese and pate for everyone and Bill had iced one of his christmas cakes that morning to take along--all of the students had heard about 'Billies boozy christmas cakes' in the classes, so they all tryed it and everyone agreed its the best cake ever!!! He even won a £5 bet off someone who didnt belive he had made it!

Everyone said about the quality of the work produced by the students. There was a comment in the comments book from someone who is a member of Leominster Art Society saying that they were very impressed with the standard of the teaching and what the students had on display, so that made me feel very chuffed!

Jack fell in love with one of the artworks on display ''the birch trees'' so it will be going to live in Upton Upon Severn shortly.This range of paintings is becoming very popular
African Dream is also going to a new home.
