It was a beautiful sunny
morning and we had a good session at the King Rufus (Eling Hill).
Philippa Goold made us
very welcome. She had creative lots of artistic touches in the dining room
along with her own paintings on the walls. Kate, Joan, Jean,
June and Di stayed indoors and each chose to sketch a different feature. Harry
and Catherine sketched outside in the garden. Harry drew the bust of
a young Roman man and Catherine drew a charming group of everyday
objects. A giant Buddha presided over the outdoor games area!
Philippa told us how she
had studied textiles and yet always continued to paint. She showed us a
fascinating painting which was an intricate pattern of rectangles
inspired by scenes from her own life. It could even inspire us to paint our own
autobiographical paintings!
Philippa invites all
of us to drop in for a drink or a meal and to see her highly
individual artwork in the dining area. All her paintings have a story behind
them - so do speak to her to find out what they are.
The Adventurous Artists
sketching group meets again on Friday 13th January. The venue will be announced
at the next meeting.
