Mia lends a hand

 

Sorry I have been absent for a while but things are so exciting and busy these days I am having difficulty fitting in all my correspondence or my blog entries. With the Harlow Carr Exhibition about to open, and lots of lovely happy paintings to make for lots of lovely happy people, and lesson plans to arrange for workshops coming up in the next couple of weeks and clothes to pack for a trip to Iceland to see whales and geysers and puffins and more. Not to mention more happy seaside paintings to make for The RLNI to choose for their calendars and note cards. So all in all it has been a busy couple of weeks. So I was grateful for the help of Amelia who worked alongside me last week for her work experience, she was so helpful not only in practical ways but also as my PA taking notes for me at meetings, and quickly getting the measure of me and my butterfly mind. Her constant nudges have you remembered to do this and don't forget to do that, was so helpful and we shared lots of silly giggly moments during the week which flew by.

Here is Mia helping in the gallery

Well, I had better get off and frame my latest painting for all the lovers of Yorkshire sheep ready to go to the exhibition this weekend.

Come on up the view is lovely
