Barbra Johnson, grandmother and North Lakes resident had a large lounge room wall which irritated her immensely. Nothing seemed to go there. Together we talked about what she liked…and that was, Japanese fabrics. I looked through her collection and choose those which best suited her room colours. I measured the wall, ordered a canvas, took payment for it and then went away and designed for a “painted collage.”
On the Work And Play Picasso session day, Barbra arrived to find the studio ready to go, with blues music humming in the background, the kettle boiled and a plate of cookies on the coffee table. Barbra helped me cut fabrics into shapes, mix delicate metallic colours and apply them as directed to the canvas. Together, we’d stand back, admiring our work, then I would advise what needed changing or to do next and why. The result: stunning! The room is transformed and Barbra even gets to wear her art as a T-shirt!
