News Travels Fast


News travels quick......thankfully. Yesterday I received an e-mail from the secretary of another Art Group located just a couple of miles from Holland-On-Sea. I'd been recommended as a guest speaker/demonstrator. Within seconds we'd arranged a demo evening. So, big thanks to John for the mention. I'll be seeing you again sooner than we thought. These Art Group demo's are quite interesting as I always ask if anyone has ever heard of Bob Ross. Of course, a few hands go up. When I ask if anyone has ever heard of Bill Alexander, the show of hands is even less. I enjoy letting people know how Bob's painting adventure started and where he learned his craft. Now, thanks to my website, I'm lucky enough to have some really lovely readers. One regular reader sent me quite a birthday package last year. Among the much treasured goodies was the Bill Alexander biography, signed by Bill himself. At these talks and demos I display this book right beside my framed certificate. I leave the page wide open showing a classic shot of Bill Alexander with his better known student.......Bob Ross.
