Fascinating.....

stuff......well, I think it is....see what you think:
One of our resident artists, Diane Jennings, runs regular art classes and she sent me some pictures of a rather unusual class she had recently. This particular class contained a Grandmother and Grand-daughter and it was just fascinating to see the results. Needless to say, both enjoyed themselves immensly and are justifiably proud of their respective results.....so here they are, have a look for yourself and see if you are as surprised as I was:

Diane says "I can teach almost anyone to paint, all they need to be able to do is hold a paintbrush, listen and follow my direction"

...very impressive results.....I wonder what the 7yr old girl's school teacher said??
