Gilding a peregrine.

On Saturday 6th December I spent the day in the Gardens Of Wales Gallery gilding a peregrine. I had the good company of a few people while I worked and met Carl Stringer, photographer for the gardens, who watched and took photos while I worked.

Now, I hate being on what i call ‘the wrong side of the camera’. Taking photos is fine. Being photographed? no way. But you have to get used to it when you do what I do.

Carl sent me some of the images through that he had taken. Amazing. Beautiful pictures of me working. So, for those who couldn’t make it, this is how the day went. Gilding a peregrine ( I had painted the birds before hand. The rest I did there using white gold transfer leaf.)

In between times I talked with wonderful people, including Paul, about drawing and painting, and signed a few books for people.

It was a good day.
