Its' August and the month that I promised myself a complete break because I knew this year was going to be really hectic. Now I have quiet time in my studio to reflect on the year that has passed and the new year I am facing.
I have loved all the workshops and art demonstrations and thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many fantastic new friends which is what happens on the sessions. And my exhibition work has been a journey that I have adored from the very first step and brushstrokes from the first to the most recent collection.
I am now really looking ahead to my watercolour course at Dedham Hall in September and my Watercolour Tour in USA in October.
I am in a group exhibition in Cardiff ,Wales, which opens in September and I have watercolour collections in the Wey Gallery in Godalming,Surrey. The Lyndhurst Gallery in the New Forest,Hampshire; Dogs in Art Gallery in Stockbridge and of course The Frame Gallery in Odiham, Hampshire. These include a variety of subjects and each gallery has new work which I have really loved creating.
Glorious color indeed. Just gorgeous. I feel ashamed that I haven't written sooner to tell you "thanks" for producing a video we can view in the U.S. A friend and I have been watching it on Sunday afternoons and then painting. I've had your first book for a long time, since my dear friend Lin Frye, told me about you. And last week your fantastic new book arrived and I am in love with it -- but most especially the cat. I'm sorry to say that I bought this one from Amazon -- having to save my pennies after both a knee surgery and an unexpected ankle surgery as the result of a fall.
