Barbara's back from India ready to get oils on canvas

Joel and I went to visit Julia at Winter's Moon HQ in Chichester . Julia is keen to host Joel and Barbara's  Exhibition in her show room/warehouse in May to co-inside with the Open Studio's .
Julia lets us root around and put a few random items together for Joel and Barbara to use , an old iconic telephone, candlestick , melamine jug , an old kettle...
The following week we head over to Barbara's and present her with the box of goodies, excited, they then decide to use the canvas they'd prepared previously with the aubergine grid . And they're off!
Kicking off with the telephone on the aubergine grid




Love Love LOve !
Barbara pulls out an old canvas she'd started to paint over and they decide its just right for the JUG !

Using the black pens to start

Off the grid this time ...free ranging jugs !

Leave jugs for now to start on candle stick
Again they use a preprepared canvas and use green pastel stick and pink for background

The green is so vibrant its a winner !


Back to the jug ... using blue pastel

Out comes the BLACK .....



Just Gorgeous !

Prepping canvas for next time ...Blacks where its at !


Painting over an old canvas
Barbara and Joel worked really hard and intensively this morning , we leave Barbara rather drained and exhausted !
