Thank heavens for the half-term holidays. Edward is 16 years old, as tall as a house and is more than keen to earn himself a wage. Which is very fortunate for me. I recently hosted a class for a group of Women's Institute ladies. By having Edward along with me he really did save my back and my legs by unloading the car, helping to set up, cleaning brushes, clearing away and re-loading the car. He even managed to snap away and take photos for the website for me. Edward has painted a couple of oils himself so he was also great at giving encouragement and feedback to the ladies. He washed up the tea things, helped adjust some easels to a more workable angle and had his eye scanning the classroom at all times so he was more than aware if anyone was getting low on paint or unsure what brush to use. If I had a pound for every time a student asked to take him home..................... So, a big thanks to my new ladies who all made fabulous paintings - and - a double big thanks to Edward for helping my day along and saving me loads of time before, during and after the workshop. XXX You can just see Edward here, in the blue top, helping a lady turn her painting around on her easel.
