BEFORE AND AFTER WORKSHOP WRITING EVENING.

Led by Lynn who had brought several photos of well known paintings. We were asked to choose one and after looking at the picture to write either what happened before or after the painting.

Judy wrote a story based how she saw the body language of child and parent.
Margaret had us in stitches over Botticelli’s Cupid and his harem.
Bryan wrote of a lost soldier looking out for the beautiful face haunting him.
Cecil wrote sensitively of a child ghost watching his earthly family grow old.
Pat hilariously composed the come uppence for Charley Green, swinging from a tight rope after showing off to the girls.
Michael H. began a mystery story inspired by 3 girls in a fishing boat by Monet.
Chris our guest gave a very descriptive piece about Monet’s mist into Death.
Van Neil Gogh!Entertained with a ghostly poetic piece heralding a new dawn.
Sue wrote imaginatively about a secret tryst surrounding a secret relationship.
Tricia wrote an horrific creepy piece of a lost girl being tempted to the home of a predator. We were all calling to the child not to go.
Liz led us to follow the antics of 2 drunken builders finali-ing in “THE SCREAM! “ (Which she did very frighteningly.)
Lynn completed the evening using an Italian picture of a terrace to tell of intrigue jealousy and murder around the corner.
All agreed yet another very enjoyable evening. Thanks Lynn.

NEXT TIME NOV. 2ND. THIS YEAR’S JO COWELL COMPETITION.

See you there All best Judy
