THE MEADOW (watercolour)

Decided to have another stab at the meadow painting but in watercolour (pen and wash). Lots of people preferred this to my oil attempt and it is now owned by a lovely lady in Wales.

THE MEADOW

Wahaay!! An oil painting at last. I saw something like this on the internet and thought I'd have a stab at painting a flowery meadow myself. It didn't come out as I wanted, but when I posted this on FaceBook, it received an unexpectedly good amount of praise and my sister "claimed" it for her house.

Our Own Art-Club!

Each Friday we go to the local Art-Club in Horwich. It's a thriving club with a broad range of people of all ages and skill-levels. Apart from the regular painting sessions, we have many professional artists visiting us to demonstrate their skills and to run workshops.

But sometimes, it's nice when just a few friends get together mid-week too, and so here we are in Simon's "studio", benefitting from the skill and experience of his father, Brian Waddington. It looks a bit cramped in there, but we were just huddled together to fit in the photo frame :-)



And you can drink beer in this club! :-)
