entitled Over the Rainbow,at St.
Leonards Church, Yardley Gobion on
Saturday 6 May, 10am to 5pm.explained how this work was based on a
sketch she made in a Spanish restaurant
one evening after dinner. “We were
with a big group and it’s fair to say

dancing, pulled out my sketchbook and
tried to draw the moving figures. The
painting took a while to complete, as I
wanted to balance the colours and
include some elements of form, while
