Last week I was invited to do my talk 'On The Edge', to the local Art Society. (you can see details of the ART LECTURE on my website).
Normally the group have a demonstration of techniques by a visiting artist but I had to explain that mine was more a demonstration of ideas rather than something practical.
After the coffee break and the talk was over, I used the last half hour to show them my painting
'Forget- Me-Nots' and the five suitcases of objects which had inspired it.
The group seemed genuinely interested in this and one young woman stayed behind to thank me for making her think more about her own work. Most people seemed to do landscapes or portraits but would they want to take them further?.
