Lynne flew down from Queensland and we hired a car and took off to a friends beautiful beach house which looks out over a lake.... its a bit like a Tardis house, looks really small and unassuming from the outside but is huge, light and airy inside :)

 we shopped in Castlemaine, visited not 1 but 3 art shops and Kaisercraft in Geelong .....

 

 and then we got down to business...eating, painting, drawing and laughing........ lots of laughing :)

we made books, drew faces, painted....

 and painted a collaborative cloth........that was absolutely the best time I have had arting with friends.....so much laughter and paint flying everywhere....
