In June I travelled to the Isle of Lewis on the western coast of Scotland to hold a coloured pencil workshop for the Stornoway art group.
Right from meeting the members I was made most welcome and I had a wonderful time throughout. Their enthusiasm and skill was great to see and some beautiful works were created over the course of the workshop.
"Hi Jo, we just want to thank you for the wonderful workshop you held for us. We are all fired up to get some serious coloured pencil artwork done. We all enjoyed our time with you both at the evening demonstration and the all day workshop. Many, many thanks, Best regards Rose"

I submitted 5 of my best works to the panel of the
NORTH WALES SOCIETY OF FINE ART with a view to becoming a member. Society membership is by selection, the criterion being the quality of the work in its artistic conception and technique.
I am pleased to say that they considered my work of a high enough standard.
The Society was formed by professional artists in 1990 to provide them with much needed exhibition space, and to promote new talent, especially in the figurative arts.
I look forward to working with like minded artists and exhibiting with them later in the year.

During the first 3 months of 2010 I will be exhibiting a series of bird paintings at the Newport Wetlands RSPB centre.
This nature reserve offers a haven for wildlife on the edge of the city, but is a great place for people too with a new RSPB visitor centre, a café, shop and children's play area. (Coffee Shop open 10 am to 4 pm).
Why not have a great day out and see some art as well.
