Woodland Walk : Bluebell Woods

"Woodland Walk"

Bluebell woods in watercolour

I know I am very lucky to live in such a beautiful place, near bluebell woods that are so calming to walk through at the end of the day. And I am aware that some of my friends are going through so much right now as life, at times, has a way of being so unfair.

To my friends who need this, a calming poem and woodland walk.

Walk with me and take my hand

I'll listen and try to understand

Whatever ails you, let it go

Take in natures' beauty

While you breath out , really slow

Listen to bird song , so soft and sweet

Enjoying the woodland path beneath your feet

Your worries you can leave, for now, far behind

As the peace of this haven

Brings you peace of mind

Its' hard to feel stressed when surrounded by calm

At one with nature, where nothing can harm

Just fresh air and blue skies

No clouds to be seen

Simple colours around you. Healing blue and green

Rest your soul , rest your body

With nature be one

As you take in last rays of the afternoon sun

Peace

Joy

And love at Easter

To all

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
