Busylizzie ‘al fresco’….
Today I spent a glorious day outside, colour-mixing and painting with groups of children at this tiny village school.

Busylizzie Art Banner for Taunton Live 2015…
The banner, now almost complete, holds its own story….. After the first few tentative brushstrokes, I began to enjoy the feel of the acrylic paint, as I attempted my first large scale work in this medium and on a 2m canvas banner too! As the painting progressed, my confidence grew and pure pleasure ensued […]
