It's not always easy to find time in our busy lives for art, but this week I went to the first meeting of a local art group.
I was surprised to find so many people there and when the initial nervous buzz of chatter has died down, a quiet calm descended on the room as a dozen or so folk started to sketch the still life compositions that had been set up for us. As we got a bit more confident we started talking with our neighbours about our choice of media or what we were planning to do with our initial sketches.
We are all amateurs, with no airs or pretensions and yet we come together to draw and sketch. We plan to meet to meet once a month, sharing ideas, discussing our work and maybe inviting a tutor to give a workshop on a particular technique. Making time to do something we enjoy.
