To start the group off on a positive note...
I explained that if you can butter bread or ice a cake, you are on a winner, using a palette knife for painting.
So with that "great" explanation under their belts...they set forth with their boards and canvases.
Brave women!
Margaret...
Dot...
Denise...
Angela...
Gwen...
and Norma.
I love the way each person's work is so different...just as each of us differ...it makes life more colourful.
The food was excellent ...of course...and the rain dried up long enough for us to sit out at the garden table.
Then the day was brought to a grand finale with the entrance of the potter's chocolate cake to be taken up with a refreshing cup of tea.
We had a critique on the art...and all said they enjoyed the day.
In my defense...I had prepared a document for each of them re. equipment and techniques so they knew a little bit more than...
....buttering bread...but the metaphor helped!
So I bid a good bye to most of them until September.
"Goodbyee
goodbyee
wipe the tear baby dear from your eyee!"
