Another busy day

Happy New Year 2019

New Year, new tablecloth

Nice and cosy

As usual Patricia finished a painting

… and Gill was cutting !!

the last week before Christmas

A couple of Christmassy themed paintings going on

Jane’s bag of Christmas cards ready to go

Sally had done this at home but it deserves to be here

… and just before the Christmas party – not much painting of pictures – just Sue painting her nails !

Merry Christmas !!

trays and bottles

Jeanette was using decoupage to make an animal tray and I used a page from an Angie Lewin calendar for this small drinks tray. Jane and Brigid came this afternoon and were decorating bottles for Christmas

A couple of sketches from Chris and Steve

Some works in progress by Jackie, Dawn and Frances

This almost looks like a tapestry – an acrylic from Jane

… and this is finished – from Jan

Creative Writing for Christmas

We are offering three sessions for Creative Writing on the following dates – 6th, 13th and 20th December on Thursday mornings from 10.30 to 12.30. Come and join us for some Christmas writing and mince pies !

The last life class of the year

Decorative bottles

Jane Inglis came to do the workshop. I think they all look great

New fire

I am a bit late in posting these pictures of the fire. We had it installed about two weeks ago and it has proved to be a great success. We were a bit worried that it would not cope with heating the great expanse of the barn, especially as the roof is not insulated. But as you can see, lots of happy, warm  people. Thanks to Divison Bois at St. Sornin for the very efficient installation.

bits and pieces

This is something that Cate did last week – it’s big and works really well – love the trees

Frances is trying out a method of painting in oils with only three colours – I look forward to seeing the finished painting

Jane is doing the same painting – so far in pastel and water colour – next oil and acrylic

I love this by Steve – beautiful colours

and this one by Chris has such movement

Dawn was using charcoal on a canvas to create a Van Gogh

One of Patricia’s quick paintings

This is a commission – once I am happy with the face, I can relax
