Q: How do you get men to tell you they like your legs?
Answer: Paint leggy females at Patchings Arts Festival!
What a great time I had at Patchings – 4 full days of painting and talking to people enthusiastic about art. It felt like a real treat and turned out to be very productive – not only did I produce 2 linen figure portraits in oils, but I gave 8 30-minute portrait demos, made contact with other people in the art business, sold some artwork and spoke to folks wanting to book me up for demonstrations and workshops at their art club. Oh – and visited the art materials marquee where I succumbed to the lure of paint brushes – what artists wouldn’t! Being in the atmosphere there was quite exhilarating and I’ve come back a little tired but full of enthusiasm and ideas.
Talking of which, I have a few thoughts along the lines of legs, watch this space…
