Inspiring talk…

November 13, 2007 at 4:20 pm (Staithes, painting)

this morning I organised a talk for my local art group… we meet on a Tuesday morning here in Staithes… some weeks we all just do ‘our own thing’ but sometimes we arrange for a speaker or artist to do a demonstration. Today Peter Hicks presented his talk about Lilian Colbourn… I had the job of thanking Peter at the end of the talk but ran out of words to use… wonderful … stunning… were a couple of the words I used… we were also lucky to have Lilian’s daughter Gloria present at the talk so she added another side to the talk about her mother. Gloria, herself is an artist, she also takes some wonderful photos as well as writing about the fishing industry here on the north east coast.

I liked just following the line created by the paint colours and the texture of the tissue stuck to the card… it took very little thought… something I’ve been doing too muchof in regard to some pictures I’m suppose to be entering into an exhibition… the deadline is tomorrow.. June 15th…
