Paint Party Friday is 4 today!
Wow 4 years that is a massive achievement by Kristin and Eva. It success I am sure is the sense of community
there is amongst participants. We all
support each other in our growth as artists; I know that my art has benefited
from being part of PPF.
To celebrate this event Eva and Kristen has asked us to do selfies. Here is my attempt. I actually got my oils
out and used an old canvas that already was painted with dark blue.
I am in the
throes of packing for my move in a couple of weeks. However I managed to get some quiet
time. I had to go to Greytown a town
further down the valley. It is an old
colonial town and has lots of lovely settler houses set in beautiful garens.
But my
favourite bit was my walk and picnic lunch in a stand of original bush land
that has been preserved near the camping grounds.
The shade
and green was bliss on a very hot day.
Wonderful portrait and love the photos, glad you found time for a little getaway. Valerie
