Last Week's Workshops

I was going to class on Wednesday but it was such a lovely sunny day and we had a 3 inch layer of oak leaves on the back garden, so I opted to do some leaf collecting instead. It was probably better exercise than painting but, looking out of the window today, it looks as though it will have to be done again after a windy day yesterday.





Although I didn't paint any 'figures in action', I did go to the group where we have been attempting a Klimt-style painting. Here is my unfinished mermaid. My gold pen ran out and I think it needs lots more decoration.



I think I need to put in a face but would be grateful for any comments.

My Favourite


I forgot to include my favourite painting by my good friend Pat Roberts. It is in watercolour and still for sale.

Exhibition Visit


Today I manned the sales desk at our local art group annual exhibition which was held at Denbies Vineyard near Dorking. I have included photos of two lovely paintings that are there.


This is an oil painting by Alan Brown.




Jackie Tratt painted the beautiful watercolour which you can see below.
