There has been a great deal of toing and froing this last month. I attended the Bite exhibition at The Mall Galleries in London and it was full to brimming at the Private View and as a consequence I had to return in order to see the work. I was taken by Gillian Thompson's
dry point and Jane Waterhouse's Hare from her Wayfaring series.

The wonderful and fascinating thing about Printmaking is that although there are 'rules' many Printmakers manage to continually break them and find innovative ways of creating their images. I am fascinated by the two Printmakers above and wonder at their techniques!
Having finished my two paintings for the Oklahoma Heritage Museum, and a few others, I decided to go off on a little 'drive about' visiting old friends and family, sketching and taking photos on the way. I drove from Lincolnshire to Kent, to London, then down to Somerset. Briefly visiting Devon and Cornwall on a quest for wind swept trees for a commision and to Dorset because I just wanted to sit on a beautiful beach. Glorious weather made it possible to get some great photos and to sit outside on the ground to sketch and get bitten in places I would have preferred not to have been!
Below are some photos. The two paintings are for the
Oklahoma Heritage Museum Small Works, Great Wonders exhibition in November. I have posted the Cottonwood painting before, but I was advised... (by my darling husband) to change the lines of the middle parts... and of course he was right.. you can compare with the image below... also this photograph was taken by a professional.

My daughter lives just outside of Glastonbury and I found a perfect spot for painting and sketching the Tor. I would love to teach a workshop in this area because it is so very beautiful. Please contact me if you are potentially interested for 2013 or 2014 via my
website email. I am thinking May time because the wild flowers are particularly lovely, but early September would also work.
That's all for now folks!!

Hi Lynne, I love your work! Are you planning on living in England indefinitely? Will you be coming back to NM to live after you finish your degree? Would love to paint the New Mexico if you plan on giving a workshop here.
Thanks,
Carla
Hi Carla, apologies for my tardy reply. I will be coming back after my degree, for periods of time and would love to organise a workshop. When I do, I will be posting the information on my blog and my Facebook page. My family is in the UK, so I will be here more. Are you based in the US? In NM or? You can send me a private message through my website www.lynnewindsor.com or through the private messaging on my Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/lynnewindsorpainterandprintmaker
