My new studio – ready at last and big enough for eight!
No more loading up the van on freezing cold mornings to drive to a venue I’ve hired to hold a workshop. No more lugging armfuls of easels that seem to be alive and determined to attack me whenever possible, up steps and around corners. No more realising I’ve left something vital at home and in embarrassed fashion, have to chance several speed cameras to get back at something like a respectable time.
But I will miss Eric who used to open and close the venue for us. He is the most considerate and helpful person I know, always smiling, always with a tale to tell, and he too used to team up with me to fight the easels. But, should I need to run any larger groups in the future it will be Eric I call. Thanks mate, you are good’n.
As for my new studio, it is equipped with tables, chairs, placid easels, white walls, great light and running water. So if you are reading this and considering joining a course, you will have a fun and rewarding time.
