My abbey story

On the request of one of the sisters, I was a guest of the abbey so I could give an art lesson. What fun that one of the nuns wanted to learn to use pastels!

During the course of an hour or so, Sister and I enjoyed drawing in both soft and oil pastel. She clearly enjoyed chalk pastels over the oil and drew a lovely rose. After the lesson, another Sister brought us tea.
Since I have a young daughter I had to bring her along. Here Sister holds my Lucy. It was lovely.
