Margaret Shaw Artwork

Enjoyable weekend at Warcop:

with cat and landscape prints bookmarks and cards leaving the event ( thank you buyers ).  We didn’t finish the picture on the pencil workshop but my student has the techniques to complete the work.  I enjoyed attending a tissue paper collage workshop.  A few ideas for next years event have been noted.  CU again in 2025.

Meeting the Floridian Locals

Certainly not going to win wildlife photographer of the year with these but here’s a few locals I’ve enjoyed meeting. Some close to home - e.g the alligator in the canal at the back of the house and others in the parks and gardens. Butterflies have been plentiful but haven’t stayed still long enough to catch. We also had a woodpecker drilling the pool cage but he went as soon as I moved to get a shot.

Lovely first night in Florida. Since then we have been poorly with persistent virus. Normal play will be resumed when we are both better.

An Arty Easter

It’s become an arty Easter.  Today I’ve refreshed my work in the EVAN gallery changeover for the EVAN Spring open starting on the 5th April.  Here’s what’s going in from me - originals, prints and cards to compliment.

Early Summer - Wild Boar

I took a photo of Wild Boar fell some time ago when the fields in front of the fell were brightly lit.  It’s been in my painting pile for some time and seemed to fit the idea I’ve been toying with for a poster like painting.  Have to say I am quite pleased with this and now pondering more in this style.
Added to my Landscape Gallery.
Prints available.

Busy in the Upper Eden Visitor Centre

Hardly a moment to myself in the visitor centre today. Lots of people here on holiday with lots of questions. I’ve added a few new bookmarks to my stock and topped up the rest.
