I had that canvas sitting behind the dining table for about a year. It was quite scary for me to really finish off the painting I had started on it, so it was perfect for the workshop. Also, at the time of booking the workshop with Cathy she had suggested to Tania and I that we do dogs, so I decided to embrace that idea, and make the most of my day exploring Cathy's style. So that style was Pop Impressionist Art...

| Quioxte |
There were three other girls, Tania, Bec and Sarah all getting into it. Tania painted some Thai dancers on a big canvas the same size as mine, Bec a portrait of her middle nephew Hudson, and Sarah her daughter. They all did a fabulous job of their work and I am sure they would be proud to display their work anywhere.
I enjoyed getting into the painting, although near the end I got a bit stuck so Cathy helped me with some finer details like that bloody nose. It drove me a bit nutty, but everything else went fine. I used my a4 photocopy of Quioxte (photo taken at Majimba about 8 years ago) to grid and draw (in charcoal) onto the canvas, then started smashing on the lights and dark shades in bright and darker colours. It was fun. I think I captured what I was looking to do on the day and also the painting will go to my brothers house in a few months. Also, I love my brother's dog, she is a beautiful staffy and is getting very old. 16 years infact. This painting is of when she was younger.
A very successful day and a big thanks to Cathy! A link through to the workshop photos and Cat Leonard's Facebook page.
