Well it’s the last day. We got up and packed then went down to breakfast.
Then David did a final quick demo and gave us a short time to finish off our paintings. A few people had to leave early, but most of us gathered round and we each had to submit our work for appraisal. I was a little nervous but since Maria got away with only minor criticisms I thought I’d probably be OK.
Both Jenny and David felt I’d done well for a bear (I thought I’d done well for ANYONE) and I had really captured the atmosphere of that first evening. They seemed to think I had talent and should continue with my painting. I’ll have to make sure next time John and Maria go on a painting course they take me with them. I think they were pretty proud of me.
Sadly we then had to go back home. Still we’ll see Jenny and David at the Patchings Festival in June and then they have an exhibition at Patchings in September. Once John know what his holiday entitlement is next year we’ll have to see if we can go painting again.
At least we have a Chinese take away to look forward to tonight.
