PAUL BROWN

Paul visited us recently to begin a series of oil painting masterclasses. They were a great success... see picture to the right.
More information will follow over the next few days about this and future events at Les Jardins des Arts.

Click the link above to visit Paul's site and see his superb work.

 

Paul Brown will be planning another Oil Painting Masterclass here at "Les Jardins des Arts" very soon.
Please let us know if you are interested.

"To see some beautiful artwork visit the "Artist's Challenge" site run by Vikki North.
You can even enter your own work. I've been submitting images now for quite a while and it's great fun and very inspiring. Not to mention the new friends I'm making around the world."... Ray

EXHIBITION AT CHATEAU JAVARZAY

Here are a few pictures from my current exhibition at Chateau Javarzay, Chef Boutonne in the Charente. A beautiful building and well worth a visit in it's own right.
Thanks to all who came and supported us on our opening night, it was a great evening and, for me, a great success. There are 55 new or recent works of mine plus a good selection of student's work. The work of the students demonstrates the high standards being achieved and for some, over a very short space of time; some having never lifted a brush before.
If you would like to visit the show, look at the pictures or perhaps even sign up for some classes, it is on until the 13th June 2010 and the opening times are as follows: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays, 15.00h to 18.00h. I will be there myself on all days but Tuesday where I will be demonstrating watercolour work and answering questions. Perhaps you could even sign up for classes.
After the exhibition closes, I will of course still be available at our gallery and studio in Hanc. You'll find the address and phone number elsewhere on this page.

Summer events
Our Spring events had mixed successes, some were full to overflowing and some did not seem to atract the attention we were hoping for. What we did find out is that there is a great interest in Mosaic and an extra night is planned. If you are interested please contact us with the details given below.
Places, as always, will be limited to 14. Anyone interested, please contact Ray or Lynne by telephone: 05 49 27 03 02
