My funny art group gives us presents

I've told you the sad saga of how our art group
lost its home, and the happy story of how we've
found a new one.  On Tuesday night I try to
make the time to paint at the new location, and
have found it thoroughly enjoyable. True I miss
the old place, in a picturesque setting with
excellent facilities.  But the new place has new
members and our group has not lost its sense
of humour.  It seems to me that it's more fun
than ever going to the portrait and figure evenings,
because everyone has fun.  I can't stay long because
my current work commitments mean that all of my
time is tight.

Woops I meant to mention that we all got fantastic
portfolio cases the other night.  It was some kind
of wonderful result of the move.  What a lovely
surprise.

A shout out to my friend George Shane, who I miss
terribly.  George is not up to attending at the moment,
and it was one of the distinct pleasures of Tuesday
night to watch his skillful and joyful paintings
develop.

Here's the painting sketch I did last night.

Have an enjoying-your-wonderful-friends day.
