Well! After a busy summer painting jazz musicians and dancers, having a jazz exhibition, and generally getting very hot, autumn is here at last.....
I was away in the UK for a couple of months (I filled 4 sketchbooks with drawing of people on the underground and on buses.....at the airports and generally in transit. I have to photograph them all before I can share them with you) and then decide what to DO with them..... it would be lovely to exhibit them in London somewhere, as that's where I did them.
It's getting frosty in England though, so now is a good time to be back in Malta for many reasons; mainly becuase I love it here of course, but also because of the sunshine and my greinds, and my cats and my studio!
SO - now to launch my Autumn activities.....
First, this Sunday27th October is the Pumpkin Festival in Manikata and I will be painting there as usual. It’s a lovely village affair and an opportunity to buy some really unusual pumpkins, plus pumpkin pies and other local produce.
Then, my next First Friday Gallery will take place at my studio /gallery in Manikata on Friday November 1st, opening from 5pm to 9pm. I’ll have lots of work on show, from this year’s Jazz paintings and landscapes to small sketches and prints. Pop in, meet other arty friends, and I’d love to show you around!
I am also starting two classes in November –
Basic drawing and watercolour classes – guaranteed to give you all the tools I can possibly think of to give you the confidence to tackle any subject you like! I have been teaching this course for years now, and I love it as it always gets people ‘going’. It’s suitable for complete and utter beginners and those who are ‘stuck’ or want to brush up on their drawing or watercolour skills.
These will be held in my Manikata studio on Wednesday mornings from 10am – 12.30 pm, beginning on Wednesday November 6th.
This is a structured course and each class leads on to the next, so it’s best if you attend all of them.
120 euro for 6 classes
Outdoor painting in Villa Bologna, Attard – the wonderful gardens at Villa Bologna are a never ending joy to paint in. We work outside unless the weather is yukky, in which case we have a studio space in the pottery to work in.
Every week I will give you a new idea to ‘play’ with – maybe working with charcoal, or sticks, or perspective..... I am always on hand to advise and direct, and help to inspire you! I generally work with watercolours outside, as they are easy to transport, but if you would like to bring any other medium, you are welcome to do that.
I provide chairs, boards, water containers and enthusiasm!
Classes begin on Friday November 1st 10 am – 12.30pm and will continue until December 13th.
120 euro for 6 classes, or 23 euro per drop-in class.

Oh and have a very happy autumn too!
