Workshop Photos

It’s been another happy creative year in studio with new beginners and returning artists.
We have created memories captured on canvas while learning and growing from each painting workshop challenge and experience, with a lot of fun and encouragement.
Thank you to all my artists for your support and kind comments that I make a difference in your creative journeys. How I love art and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that almost 100 artists have painted with me from our little home studio.
How very apt is this beautiful verse and I hope it resonates with you in many ways.
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12
Merry Christmas to you all and a Blessed Creative 2019 in every way with much love Fil and Andre.

What a joyful April month in studio with Fil. Creating memories on canvas…
in the painting journey with dear friends and family sharing this experience together. Bravo! 15 paintings between us.

Zopi Mamacos with her Cape Seascapes - March 2013

In 2013 Fil is looking forward to a year of happy painting and creating memories on canvas…
All 53 artists in almost 7 years have shown enthusiasm to learn in a fun way taking away new techniques
and ideas, enjoying themselves as much as Fil delights in their growth and learning from them too!

Vanessa McDonnell, Zopi Mamacos & Pam Edgar - February 2013

Fil's 50th artist, Cherith Davidson - October 2012

This achievement took 6 years.
When Fil started giving oil painting workshops in 2006 she had no idea that they would be so successful,
but by 2011 she set a goal to have 50 artists by her 50th birthday.
It so happened that by her 51st she had Cherith the one and only new artist in 2012 join her for classes.
