Saturday afternoon was the monthly meeting of the Lewis Art club when we sketched or painted natural forms, shells, flowers, veggies and things, I started a sketch of a cyclamen not finished enough for a photo.

Wednesday we went to in Geocrab, Harris and had a wonderful day, an early start from Ness for me meeting up in Stornoway for my lift to Harris, not the weather for photos, rain, rain, wind, wind, you get the idea, so when we arrived the homemade shortbread and a hot drink was very welcome, then Andrew talked about his Art and followed with a demonstration of his method of working, I found it all interesting as I knew nothing about oil painting, Andrews paintings are stunning island land and seascapes, well worth a visit for the Art alone but……

There is a treat in store, Emma makes fantastic food, for lunch we had a very tasty soup and bread all homemade followed by homemade scones with raspberry jam and fresh cream, delicious…..

Now we had to get down to work!! afteral that was why we came to do some oil painting, I didn’t create a master piece but did enjoy trying it out, I think textiles is still my medium, a great day out, highly recommended, so if you want a day on Harris please go and see Andrew’s paintings and taste Emma’s delicious food.
