Mince Pies, Coffee & Art

I'm busy hanging work by a selection of local artists ready for our Macmillan Cancer Support fundraising days at Northborough Framing in Market Deeping  PE6 9DQ.  Pop along any saturday in December and for a donation to the fund you can be enjoying festive refreshment while viewing this exciting collection of local art.  You may pick up an extra special present and help this worthwhile charity in the process.  Hope to see you there!

Sunflowers

I'm really enjoying painting these sunflowers and I think I've nearly finished.  Students in my classes have also completed their own versions of this project and it's lovely to see the variety of the completed paintings.

Pastel Pencil Workshop

Judith is going to be running a one day workshop at Northborough Framing in Market Deeping suitable for beginners.   You will be taken through every stage of producing a true likeness of a pet working in a limited palette of pastel pencils.

Pencil drawing - Max

It's been lovely to immerse myself in artwork again.  My morning dog walk was warm but blowy and woke me up ready for couple of hours of drawing to finish a portrait of this lovely little lad.   

My next project is a friend's garden in watercolour for christmas.

macmillan coffee morning !

Well, the cakes are eaten, the coffee's been drunk and our feet are throbbing. We had a fantastic day!  Thanks to all the support and generosity we made a staggering £200 for the charity.  At 10pm last night  whilst I was putting the finishing touches to the exhibition, I was hoping at least a few visitors would pass through our doors to make the hard work worth while.  We had about 70 visitors throughout the day and all hands were on deck to keep the coffee flowing.  I'm now looking forward to collecting the dogs, relaxing back into painting and getting on with my many commissions.
