Garden Tour

I had a lovely day last Sunday being an artist in residence at one of the gardens in the Schomberg Garden Tour.

Several of my original watercolours were placed around the gardens

and I sat under this large sycamore tree and demo'd painting a rose. This was my demo painting.

It was such a wonderful day. Thank you to everyone that stopped to talk or who just quietly sat beside and watched me paint. Thank you also to Teri Hastings Arts Society King and the Schomberg Horticultural Society for organizing the event.

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day weather wise.

Workshop news!

I had a wonderful time recently teaching a workshop at the Cambridge Arts Centre. The class were enthusiastic and very eager to learn.

We were exploring the theme of colour. These two paintings were both created from the same reference photo using the same colour palette but just used in different areas of the painting to create very different effects.

Here are a few photos taken during the weekend.

Thank you to the organizer of this workshop Tiina Price and to all 19 artists attending it for such a lovely weekend. I am really looking forward to coming back again next year.
