Its been a busy couple of weeks. Nephew Mark, Janella, Megan and George came to stay one weekend and we went for walks and looked at the new born lambs. Throwing stones in the river was one of the highlights and George was happy as long as he could play with our old toy cars. I had been asked by a teacher at a Primary School near Penrith if I would go in and do a workshop with the children on painting the Cumbrian landscape. It was a new experience for me and I was quite nervous. Megan wanted to do some painting in my studio so we painted together and I tried out some exercises with her.
The workshop went well and I was impressed with the childrens’ paintings. If they had used better paper they would have done even better. At the end of the day we had a gallery of their work and invited the parents to come and see what they had done. The children were very enthusiastic and so I enjoyed it in the end!
Here are some of them with their art work.
