Jack's Dad

I haven't been able to post for a while and my days in the studio have been a bit disrupted. Why is it that exhibitions all come together? I've been kept busy delivering and collecting and attending private views. Living a few hours outside London makes it all quite a hike! These photos are from the Pastel Society (recieving the Unison Pastel Award) and the Society of Women Artists who had their private view earlier this week.

At least I have managed to et to the scout hut for our regular Thursday sessions; this small oil sketch of Jack's Dad was painted from life in just under two hours. Mel is a picture restorer and gilder and enjoys painting, perhaps he will join us next week, behind an easel too.
