On Tuesday we were back at work on the house, but on Wednesday it was our usual Art Party meeting, but as a special treat we'd asked Rowan's girlfriend Paris to come and teach us how to use oil paints. Paris is a practising artist, with works for sale on the internet: http://newbloodart.com/artist/629/paris-foot which we love, so it was all very exciting. Rowan's sister Cherry was at home for a visit and she came too - having worked in the art world painting in oils since she left college (including a period working for Damien Hirst). So we were in exalted company.
A lovely day, which started off with home-made muffins from Jessica to celebrate my birthday, a long session getting colourful, and finishing off with a glass of sparkly wine and our own private view of our still lifes.

Mmm, blueberry muffins

What a wonderful, messy table
Our (unfinished) still life paintings - not a bad morning's work
Mine - a first foray into oils, some bits I like, but that horizon line on the left has to go - I stuck it in by accident!
