The 'Country Church' painting subject is evolving in many lovely ways. Students are making this particular painting subject their very own work. For instance.....a couple of weeks ago one lady painted in a character laying with his back against the tree, knees bent, relaxing, possibly even asleep. Another lady decided she didn't want to put in the foreground tree - instead she went for pretty highlighted bushes and soft grass. It seems once we get to that foreground area - that's when the composition is really open to change. We've had paths, fences and one clever chap even painted in a path leading to a jetty projecting into the water. We've had spires, lightning poles, windows, doors, extensions added to the little background church too. I'm absolutely delighted that students are having so much fun with their paintings and it shows me their confidence levels and their imagination. Well done.
