Teacher very nice, good understanding of art. Level of people attending (9) was total beginner to experienced. Where more time spent with the less experienced. Out of two hours probably had less than 5 minutes one to one tuition for ?26 . Over all a nice and enjoyable morning but I didn't gain much from the experience.

Title or Location: Knaresborough soft light at dusk
SOFT LIGHT AT DUSK under Knaresborough viaduct. This evokes good memories of a May walk with my husband, just soaking up the still reflections of the viaduct and the neat boats put to bed for the day. Then off for a glass or two of wine at the tap (Track & Sleeper) on Knaresborough railway station. Oil on MDF board 10 by 12 inch panel. A very enjoyable day.

Title or Location: Cave Dale, Castleton.
Having walked along the dale many times, I was interested in the veiw looking back towards the castle and the limestone outcrops guarding the steep hillsides. I simplified all this using strong linear black outlines and blocks of pure colour. My work is conceptual and about the impression I get in my mind and not the realism of a subject.

Title or Location: Laughter
I live by the sea in Cleethorpes, hence the windswept hair in this picture. It?s painted from a ref photo that is royalty free. The original photo was much bigger, or rather, there was more to it. Her face caught my attention from the start. Time to paint! It?s how I do portraits, from ref photo to movie stills, to life?. to conquer the inspiration.

Title or Location: A northern river, water flow and ice
"A Northern river, water flow and ice" (actual size 18x24" oil on panel)I have been fortunate to have a couple of friends who live in the Duluth area. They often walk the area by the Seven Bridges Road and take photos of the streams and river in that area. I saw several of their photos posted and realized the photos tied in strongly with my interest in painting rivers and moving, sometimes turbulent, waters. This one was during the Spring melt a few years back.This painting was shown severa
