Family Positive Portrait Workshop, the art of being lovely to each other




Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such a beautiful extended family or bunch of friends who could come together to make fun portraits focusing  on what we love about ourselves and each other?





It has always been a dream of mine to teach some  art classes  in America, preferably around the Portland Oregin, San Francisco area and this dream became  partially true last Sunday for a couple of hours.



The Vail family who come originally from around the Oregin area  came to Rotorua for Christmas and we ran a group arty, mixed media  workshop about positive portraits.




Portraits for me was a pretty lose and open term, because I think portraits can take any shape or form. 
If you think its a portrait, then it's a portrait. 




 think anything can be a portrait if you want it to be. 



It was fun to teach them as they were so willing, receptive and lovely to each other.



Every single artwork created had a magic of its own



Wouldn't it be a lovely dream to run more family and group workshops like this?




I wish them all the best for their return home and hope they enjoyed a taste of what Rotorua has to offer. 







 The art of being lovely, creative quotes of the week. 
 If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds I  strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

I would add that we can all be teachers, so why not give it a go and start practising the art of being lovely to each other?
