‘Those who can, do; those who can’t teach’ Man and Superman George Bernard Shaw 1906 This could well describe me. Back in a former life, I was an art teacher in a comprehensive school where adolescents moaned ‘I’m no good at art Miss’ and the uphill task was to motivate and encourage creative talents. Mostly it was their lack of confidence and the fear of making mistakes. Whilst working as a teacher, I did very little art work bar the quick demo at the beginning of a session. I said I didn’t have time - although there is always time for things you really want to do! When I stopped working I had no excuse but I found that I too lacked confidence. Joining Lechlade Art Society and attending a few workshops (being a ‘student’ again) has been delightful. I just love the process of painting – predominately in acrylic but also sometimes experimenting with watercolours, inks and oils. More of my work can be found on Instagram (QR code on the left).
