Both courses were full and everyone that attended created very good pieces of work including Liz's fine oil painting which you can see above which is full of drama and dynamism -  it becomes even more wonderful when you know that Liz is well into her mid to late 80s proving that it is never too late to do what you love and to learn.  The other students wonderful work can of which can be seen below:
