July 2011
What an exciting month July is turning out to be.
I have sold two originals from Costal Design Gallery in Campbeltown, Kintyre. They were the Stonechat and the Stag. I was sad to see them go as I am sure all artists are, but pleased as well to think someone else loved looking at them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Also, I have had my butterfly pair accepted into the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art, NEWA, held at Gordale Garden Centre is a large extremely busy garden centre midway along the Wirral Peninsula, between Chester and Heswall on the A540.
This is a very prestigious exhibition with a lot of top name artists displayed so I am realy pleased to have been accepted for the second year running. For more info you can visit their website at :- www.newa-uk.com

Derwent Coloursoft Pencils on black paper with Jo Goudie
Coloursoft pencils are amazing to use on black paper and are highly blendable due to their soft texture. I will cover a broad range of techniques throughout the day.
Workshops are suitable for beginners and intermediate levels and run from 10.30am – 4.30pm.
Each workshop is £40 per person and pre-booking is essential to avoid disappointment.
A 10% discount is offered for two or more workshops booked at any one time and all materials are supplied along with complimentary tea, coffee and afternoon sticky treats.
