TREES YEARS APART




Let's compare my trees from my school days to one I did a few years ago while on a course in Crete with the wonderful Hazel Soan.  She demonstrated the sponge method for the tree.  Well actually she stopped the coach and we all followed her into the field!!!!  Artists can go anywhere I thought ................... Well it's rather spooky don't you think, they are look very similar!!!  And which one do you think is my latest?

I would love to know if anyone else has old school paintings or memories of painting when they were young.

PAINTINGS

Last month I went down to London for a weekend course with Hazel Soan.  Was the hardest I have ever done, cos I don't like doing proper people eg portraits and people with faces.  Anyway instead of showing my poor attempts  I going to download a couple of Hazel's demo paintings, which were done quite quickly.  Brilliant.  She is my hero.




Computers, who invented them.  I am sick to death with this one.  Can't burn photos. Can't save files.
What am I to do. (*****   ***!!!!)


SENIOR CITIZENS SEDENTARY OLYMPICS

Tripupathlon
John Cleese Minister for Silly Walks, was to present the medals for the tripupathlon. 

I caught up with him in the VIP lounge where he was tucking into a meal of spam and more spam!
The winner did well to beat Mrs Overall from Acorn Antiques, who was expected to score a perfect l0.  Then unexpectedly Cleese stormed off to the shouts of 'Don't mention the War'.
