Painting at the Hay Loft

Hello everyone.
Yes, the weather is looking good for Friday. We'll go up to the Hay Loft. Arrive anytime between 10am and 3pm. Park behind the barn, not where visitors park, as this area is needed for customers. I suggest you bring sketching equipment, plus a stool - if you have one. Ideally, gather information in the form of sketches, photos, then produce a painting from that either at home or in class. You can contact me on 07737982513

We visit the Van Gogh exhibition in London

A group of us from the art classes that I run, made the trip down to the Royal Academy recently to view the Van Gogh exhibition. The day proved a huge success and everyone enjoyed the experience - Most of the paintings I hadn't seen before and it was worth the visit. All of us were agreed that the exhibition exceeded our expectations. Even the weather was kind to us, despite the gloomy forecast. No major upsets on the day - except Irene got locked into the National gallery just as it was closing! Oh, and Michael also became lost for a few minutes! Be we eventually all grouped up again! We are planning another trip down to London to visit the John Singer Sergeant exhibition this summer.
