Have been busy painting some oils again. Sometimes I miss oil and have to roll up my sleeves and get tucked in! Quite different from watercolour although the procedure for assessing what makes a good painting is the same. The same questions are asked. Have I made the darks dark enough, the lights light enough. Is there variety in the shapes etc? My students will have heard me chant this so often! They keep me on my toes. Apart from continuing to learn through teaching them, I have also been priviledged to learn more about Saudi Arabia, than if I had just continued to paint murals as I used to do.
So here are two little ones hot off the easel!

Phoebe´s Tea Cup
|
|
Phoebe was my mother in law and she had a tea and coffee service of this amazing china which must be over 150 years old.
These will be for sale at the Quilt Show and Artisan´s Fair from 11am onwards. Debra Ann Dennis holds this lovely exhibition once a year, and a great deal of work goes into making this a hugely interesting event in Jeddah.
Susie Schuster always has a table in aid of her charity, The Ladies of the Rabat, and beautiful beaded scarves will be for sale.
Available also from her will be cards, prints, and a folder of six postcards wih envelopes shown below. All these are printed from watercolours on the Saudi Heritage that is now under threat.
They make great gifts we are told!

The Cover of the folder shows the Camel Saddle .
