I really enjoyed it. I was initially thinking of cancelling as I didn't fancy 2 hours up Carlton Hill outside. I'm glad the venue changed to the national gallery cafe and hope meetings can continue there. Definitely an indoor space would be best. Robyn was so lovely and had a few suggestions for everyone's work as it took shape. The small group worked well around a table. If the group size grows then not so easy for Robyn to see everyone unless it's a big table.

Title or Location: Robert the roo
I started drawing and painting by chance nearly 3 years ago . I had cancer diagnosis, lost a kidney, the other kidney is not great and I got very depressed. My ex colleagues gifted me some art materials and I was shocked because I haven't been painting since age of 12 and I was 52 at the time. Then I put my big girl pants on and started following acrylic tutorials. I also have been drawing every day using a sketching app for daily prompts. Since July 2021 I am painting and drawing originals.

Title or Location: Mystic
"Mystic "is an intuitive work in acrylic on canvas and measures 61cm sqr. It begins life as a few marks on a blank canvas and from then on each mark suggests the next one. This is how all my paintings evolve. I am obsessed with colour and composition which seems to come naturally to me. I know when a work is finished because it seems to let me know " there is nothing more to do here, it is time to move on" I listen to my work now, instead of my inner critic and it is wonderful to know I have cre

Title or Location: ?Red Love?
This piece depicts a woman with an exaggerated highlight, giving off the impression that she is basking in the sun. It is ultimately a tribute to the powerful black women I grew up around, creating and being part of the inspiration for why I create. It is a mixed media portrait, utilizing mostly colored pencils and pens.

Title or Location: Wildlife Christmas baubles
Hi, I am Carolyn of C.Walsh.art located in Southampton. I have always loved art and decided to started painting again around four years ago after a long break. I mainly paint on wood inspired by the beauty of nature using acrylic paint but during the festive season I love painting on these ceramic baubles bringing gorgeous wildlife to your tree. I love to use reclaimed materials where possible and try to be environmentally friendly.

Title or Location: A Place to Breathe
I wanted to create a place of tranquility and quiet. A retreat into nature where you can take a moment to breathe. There is a hush over the valley. The storm is over and the water quietly continues on its way much as it has always done. It is here I invite you to stay for a moment or two and rest.
