The trip to Goondiwindi was another great adventure, but the one thing
that really stood out for me during this special time was the
wonderful people we met. The 28 girls who came along to the workshops
at the Goondiwindi Cultural Centre were so full of enthusiasm and
ready to have a go!
I love your attitude girls and I am very much looking forward to
returning in September. Thankyou to all of you who have emailed me, it
would be wonderful if you could also hop onto this forum so that
everyone can read your lovely stories. I was so fortunate to meet you
all, you have such beautiful souls. There was so much peace and
happiness in the room the whole time! It was lovely to have Leoni and
her precious pup Scruffy Murffy Smith in attendance.
It was an honour to be showing you all how to paint, especially since
most of you hadn’t painted since a child. You all produced fabulous
artworks and I am sure that when Stuart finally gets a minute he will
pop the photos up on our site. (yes they are here now. Stuart)
Thankyou to all of you, for making it
an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all of us! A very special
thanks to Carolyn and Shawn of Fairway Studios for arranging the event
and also to the Nook and Cranny bookstore for their involvment in the
book launch, and sales support of ‘Paint In Your Pyjamas!’

The Maryborough library had a cosy turnout for the launch of
Paint In Your Pyjamas, we had a wonderful time. One of my previous
students who had moved to Maryborough about three years ago arrived at
the event and was delighted to see that it was ‘her’ Cindy launching
the book ‘Paint In Your Pyjamas!’ She had received a flier from the
Library promoting the event and wasn’t sure if it was the ‘Cindy’ that
had taught her art in Noosa, because she previously knew me as Cindy
White - the newly married surname ‘Wider’ threw her off course a bit.
It was a moving moment to be reunited with Rosanne, I often wondered
how she was getting on in life, because she also had Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome and sometimes struggled to get to classes. It brought a happy
tear to my eye to see her again especially as she was so excited to
see me too! She gave me a copy of her wedding invitation which had a
photograph of the painting on it that she had produced during my art
course.
Isn’t it wonderful to catch up with old friends or aquaintances and
see how they are after a period of time has lapsed. It sometimes feels
as though no time has even passed at all. The experience left me with
a deep gratitude for the joy and satisfaction that I gain by sharing
my love of art with others. It also served as a powerful reminder for
the reason why I continue to teach art in the live tuition programs.
This experience has prompted me to offer my weekend courses again!
Many people along our journey in both Maryborough and Bundaberg have
asked for workshops and seminars so they will begin soon!
Thankyou Robyn Dowling from the Bundaberg Library, your effort was
greatly appreciated and thankyou to all of you who attended.
