A Pause for Thought

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything new." Vincent Van Gogh.

Get creative, be inspired and let your mind unwind at one of our Art & THRIVE social painting evenings. Experience how it feels to slap a bit of paint around, create a picture and feel good about it.

This picture is inspired by the beautiful colours of a typical English meadow. At the centre of this picture and from the safety of the long grass, a hare has paused before contemplating a risky dash across the open fields. In folklore, hares are said to the mythical creatures with magical powers and this picture will certainly conjure-up some thought provoking conversation while you paint.

No experience necessary. Our highly experienced art tutors will guide you through the process of painting your picture, step by step, so that you can relax and just enjoy the experience.

All art materials and equipment supplied.
