So, yesterday was a dry run! Only, it was a rather wet run! Here in the UK we’ve had wonderful sunny weather ever since the end of August! Finally, what we’d call summer! It started of yesterday as a beautiful Sunday morning which was perfect for delivering my new painting to the gallery.
Once we arrived at our Plein air site it drizzled, stopped so we got going with our art trolley loaded! Rain, sun, suncream, sun hat, heavy rain! What I’m trying to say is that anything and everything you can think of could be needed! It does add to the build up and anticipation!
I had time to enjoy mixing a myriad of greens for the stunning garden but adding the blooms became a battle between a balancing act of paint, brushes, paper and an umbrella over it all and the trolley and another over us! The band showed up though, and happily seemed to play away under their awning.
So, I learned that all things are possible and just enjoy the comedy of flapping paper, pallets and umbrellas. Se la vie!

Hi, I’m an art teacher in the community teaching drawing, painting, and crafts in Birmingham, Solihull, and Warwickshire. I create my own paintings, collage, small clay work, felting and mixed media artwork and these are displayed with prints of my artwork at various galleries in Birmingham, Kenilworth, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick. I have also exhibited in the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, and The Herbert Museum & Art Gallery, Coventry. I graduated with BA(Hons) from the University of Central England (formerly Birmingham Polytechnic) many years ago! I went on to complete PGCE(PCE) and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching art and craft ever since! I teach for several institutions and am also freelance. My private art classes began in Solihull January 2018. Please drop me a line using the Contact page if you would like further information and to make purchases of my art and craft artwork. Thank you for visiting my site and hope to see you soon!
