Geraniums painted in class with Andrew Orr


These pretty geraniums were painted by my friend and ex-student Ming, in Andrew Orr's class. (see post below)

A gift of Geraniums!


Last week Jim and I had the privilege of hosting Andrew Orr from Vermont, United States of America while he conducted a three day seminar in our city. The ten girls attending his classes painted geraniums on 10" square plates; this round plate was painted by Andrew as a sample of the way he painted his geraniums.
I count myself fortunate to receive this plate as a "thank you" from Andrew, and will hang it in my lounge along with other similar coloured plates.

Roses on oval plaque


Another rose painting! I enjoyed using the various pinks in this painting, and the gold border has a rich finish by using liquid bright gold and then a good coverage of liquid burnishing gold.
It will hang with the oval plaque with the lace around the edge.
