It is medieval jousting and recreation, but also emphasis on making their tools. I went a couple of years ago, and there were quite a few smithies working on the day. I am going again this year.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-39979944737583932302012-03-04T02:43:28.324+11:002012-03-04T02:43:28.324+11:00What a fantastic time you've had Julie, it shi...What a fantastic time you've had Julie, it shines through in your images and words.

Crikey, today that would be seen as gross negligence. <br /><br />We loved it when he blacksmithed. There is such drama with the red metal, banging of the sledge hammer, tap-tap of the smaller hammers, the hiss of the water and the smell of coke burning. Wonderful memories.<br /><br />I love the colours of the artist's palette.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-34923416449786610932012-03-03T21:23:31.242+11:002012-03-03T21:23:31.242+11:00Thanks for dropping in, Jane.

It was interesting to see my arms compared with those of Chris - not as muscular of course, but the tension revealed in my grip surprised me. And I'm painting with a brush in each hand - which is true multitasking! Some days I think I do wear googles rather than goggles.<br />I haven't painted at St Remy, but I stayed in Auvers & painted at the sites of Van Gogh's last & greatest paintings such as "The church at Auvers" & "Crows in the Wheatfield". The church was exactly the same & although the wheat had just been harvested, there was a flock of crows!It was an unforgettable experience as I could easily identify the exact spot on which every one of his canvases had been painted.<br />If you want to see how my large canvas of Chris is progressing see http://janebennettartist.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/fire-within.htmlJane Bennett Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12378167586493733589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-14264495500116954082012-03-03T20:37:32.030+11:002012-03-03T20:37:32.030+11:00That reminds me of Sir Garfield Sobers who had toi...That reminds me of Sir Garfield Sobers who had toiled all day with the ball, with many appeals for LBW all of which were turned down. He finally got a ball between bat and pad which sent middle stump tumbling. Sobers turned to the ump and said: 'That'd have to be close'.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-80346714657803734212012-03-03T20:33:23.662+11:002012-03-03T20:33:23.662+11:00Regarding my sculpture that reminds you of a hurli...Regarding my sculpture that reminds you of a hurling stick, or that Irish game whose name escapes you.
