We had a really pleasant drive very early Saturday morning to the venue of my class. Apart from the temperature, you'd think it was a summer's day. The venue was a lot easier to find in broad daylight than it was in the dark too. I'd given a talk on oil painting to the WI ladies of Mendham just before Christmas and they'd subsequently booked me to teach an oil painting class to their group. It was easier for me to go to them, than have them come to Capel. The group settled into the class so quickly and easily with their 'no messing' attitude. Some great paintings all round and everyone's really pleased with themselves. We've already selected the next painting project - everyone present wants to come again and there maybe a few extras too. Interestingly, a couple of ladies came well prepared with protective clothing. They managed, between them, to get oil paint on just about every surface imaginable. Which........in my book, makes you a proper artist.
