Mike and Sara Peel are hosting painting holidays in a delightful part of France and have invited me to join them as one of their tutors. The planning is so neat and efficient, the food sounds great, and the house and swimming pool - simply lovely. It is going to be a very successful venture for them I am sure and I look forward to being there for a week next year.
My booking is 27th August - 3rd September 2011
www.shades-of-france.com will give you all the details that you need if interested in joining us.

Royal Scottish Acadamy
Generally I keep quiet about open shows that I submit work to.. Unless of course I get something in. The R.S.A Small Works Show is opening in Edinburgh tomorrow evening and I am very pleased to be attending as an exhibiting artist. Going to drive down with George Collier and Lyndsay Gibb, as George also has work accepted.
Its a long way to go for a glass of red, but it might not happen again!

Zakynthos 2011
We are still eight months from the Painting holiday in Greece, but each new person signing up makes it seem a bit closer. The days are shortening rappidly in Aberdeenhshire, but I have sunshine and lots of new people to look forward to.
The first week from 19th - 26th of May is nearly full with eight painters signed up and two non painting partners. The second week might be a cosy foursome with Maureen and Graham Fison. What ever will be, we are looking forward to it.
On that note I think I should book our flights.

North East Open Studios....
The Barn is full of boxes.
Twelve stacks on pallets, five layers on each pallet,
- with nine boxes on each layer.... 45 catalogues for NEOS in each box.
The good news is that already six full stacks have been distributed by a number of participants. I am really happy about the greater awareness and willingness to help.
23,000 catalogues so if you want one or some to distribute, you are welcome to come and get them from me or any of the other distribution points.

New Year 2010
Classes started this week with a few folk missing due to the icy roads.
A couple of spaces on tuesday evening and wednesday pm if anyone out there fancies
an insight into drawing and painting.
I am going to work though some techniques which could have been learnt at junior school
but hope to give them a grown up twist. Actually find that a lot of things we do are worked with in playgroups, which is one of the problems... they are fun and are rejected for not being serious enough. Such a shame as these can be the foundation to good painting.
This week we make scratcher boards (popular in the 70's) - a technique used with incredible effect by John Byrne.
