The walls are so hard my drill head nearly melts ! So nip next door to the welders and borrow a hard core welder's strength one ! |

Barbara's fresh in from New York a little jet lagged..
Barbara and I arrange to meet up on Tuesday . I collect Joel and on our way to Barbara's I get a flat tyre, its raining and I can't get the hub-cap off ! Waaaaah ! Fortunately a good friend rocks up and deals with it ... so I phoned Barbara to let her know , she was jet-lagged having arrived back from New York and is blissfully unaware of the time , so still in bed ! Joel and I eventually make it over to her studio and they dither around for a bit trying to decide what to paint . It takes a while , in the end we get Joel to choose ! So cup first...

Back to Barbara's , get the kettle on !
Another productive morning with Barbara . We still had the blue Kettle from Julia's to use , such a gorgeous unmistakable shape , thought the big BLACK canvas was the one for the job !
After the wonderful Kettle I found a bottle on Barbara's kitchen window sill with a white stopper , they approved and chose grey pastels to draw it with and then white to do the stopper and reflections.
Then decided to use grey in the space around the bottles.
Joel and I pop over to Julia's at 'Winter's Moon' warehouse to look at the space again where we'll be holding the Exhibition in May . Its FREEZING ! Poor Julia ! So just got a little bit of sorting out to do before the show ! Julia is doing the invite and we've decided on the 2nd weekend in May , it'll be on along side the Open Studio's which will be fun .
Winter's Moon Warehouse /Show Room . Plenty of wall space for Joel & Barbara's pictures
