A healthy start to the new year!

After all the celebrations and good eating over the Christmas holidays we thought that it would be good to start the new year with something healthy. We painted fruit with watercolour and cut them out, they were then laminated and stuck to the wall in the activity area. I also made a fruit bowl to contain them.

And a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

A Round up of Jolly Christmas Art!

Here is a brief pictorial round up of art that I made with and for residents in Care homes in Buckinghmashire. It all makes home a happier place :-)

It has all gone Crackers!

We had a nice time making crackers to decorate the activities room at Catherine Court in High Wycombe this week.

Christmas Fun in a Box!

Over the weeks we made the different elements of this fun Christmas decoration to display in this residential home.
Ho Ho Ho!

Free Form Circles

Sometimes it is nice to not have a plan and to let the residents draw free shapes and images. To do this I often draw a circle as this can help to contain an image or give a starting point for a journey of shapes and colours. Many of the images below are from residents who are living with various forms of dementia.

Butterflies and Swans

Here are some beautiful water colours which I had a wonderful time painting with residents at Catherine Court in High Wycombe.
