SHOREHAM RETREAT OCTOBER 2011

Shoreham proved once again, that i am the queen of temptation. Three more picked up the brush. lol

In October 2011 we headed back down to shoreham in Victoria for our weekend retreat.
It only seemed like yesterday when we were down there in the cold winter of May.







This time around, we had lovely sunny days to enjoy the walks around the property, to walk to the winery next door and to enjoy the time away from the kids and hubby's.



Trudi completed this wonder page
showcasing her camping adventures.
Most of the crafty women who attended settled in to scrapbook for the entire weekend. They created a large array of artists pages for their albums.....







Jo completed this lovely page
of her and her son Brad.

During the weekend, i managed to tempt three of the lovely ladies to have a play with my paints;
Vicki was the first to have a go
and she created a wonderful flamenco dancer.

Sherryn was next to surrender to the brush and
she was extremely happy with her sunset in aspendale painting.


Anne completed her masterpiece on last morning
and had to carry it home wet.




















During the weekend i managed to complete a few artwork pieces myself.
I worked on a few more flamenco style dance poses, one of a couple embracing and then i worked on a semi-nude reclining on a bed to be framed and hung in my own bedroom.
Then on the last morning, i tried to paint a nice male portrait.
