SPRING TIME PRUNING
Spring has sprung, and subzero temperatures are behind us. Many of us look forward to the long awaited work in the garden.
Vivid and contrasting colours contribute to a simple, yet vivacious image where two gardeners are absorbed in their work.
This painting's use of free brushstrokes enlivens this playful interpretation. 

Location:   Saint Andrews Community Centre. 6955 Bayers Road.
Date:           Thursday, 24 May, 2012.
Times:        09:30  until  3:30 p.m. Please take a lunch along. Coffee served.
Fees:           $55.00
 
If you are interested in participating, please send a downpayment cheque @ $25.00 to:
Frans Aeyelts, P.O. Box 803 Lunenburg, B0J 2C0 and please confirm your attendance.
 
Participants names will be collected, a name will be drawn, and the demonstration painting will be given away!
For more information please refer to my website.  See www.fransaeyelts.com    look under:"workshops".
Hope to see you there!
Best wishes,
Frans.
