Creative Expression Workshop

This is the work of Marianne.
I love the depth of this, I really feel that I'm the person dipping my toes into the water!
 

This is the work of Sandra. 
The rock is so solid and really depicts security and I can imagine myself standing there being refreshed.

This is my work.
I should have paid attention to spelling; I don't want to change it!
The silver spots are depicting manna - a picture I saw on holiday.  The rest I won't explain.

Today I did a workshop with ladies from church.

I asked them to create a work expressing the word "Refreshing".

Our time of creating art together brought us all joy, next time I hope for more people.

Before Zentangle

Marker on Keyboard

 

Three years ago I had a white keyboard, I doodled on it, bit by bit, through phonecalls instead of on paper.  (My hubby doesn't call this officially art.) 

 

Three months ago a work colleague tipped me off about Zentangle.  I've known for years that doodling aids concentration.  I like to think I practiced doodling before Rick and Maria came up with Zentangle.  For more info about Zentangle see the link:

Goodbye Ely Wool Shop

Moleskine watercolour pad

 

This painting is in my sketchbook of Ely Wool Shop on St Mary's Street.
Sadly Sandra is closing the shop tomorrow, very sad to see it go.

I sat in the shop drawing and painting this one freezing day in March, warmed up by Sandra's cheerfulness and a cup of tea.

Gargoyle

Watercolour

 

I had a phase a few years ago of looking out for gargoyles.  I photographed them, painted them and created them in clay.  I even immortalised my dog in a gargoyle caricature.

 

This sweet little crowned lion was in quite a state of disrepair.

Featuring on the door posts of St Martin's Church, Fincham.

Rubbish?

Pen & Ink

Sometimes I just have to draw something, just to rejuvenate my joy, refresh my brain and relax.

This was one of those moments.
