A day at the Eco House

This was my first experience in the Eco House and i must say i thourghly enjoyed it. The calm and relaxing atmosphere was perfect to focus but still enjoyable to create a painting or drawing. i met some very nice people during my day including Judith, Jenneth and Tom and many more. They were all very nice and made me feel welcome. One of the high lights today was when the door bell rang with a little tune Alan would get up and dance about like a ballet dancer! A secret ambition? I am not sure but what i am sure about is Alan is going to kill me after he reads this!

Alan's groovey glasses!

During the day Jenneth gave Alan some advice:

"Follow your dreams, your a darn good artist!"

i think this is very good advise which Alan should take on board. 

Jenneth then said:

"You need a good slap round the ear!" 

I also think this is good advise and i would be happy to do this for Jenneth! Haha!

Over all the day has been great and i have learned alot of things including that inspiration for art does not always have to be visual, it can be through a conversation as well. i think this is what the art classes are good for.I would like to say thank you to everyone at the Eco House for making my day enjoyable!

Tom's Poem

DUNFERMLINE LINEN

In a mean abode, doon the Limekilns Road 

Lived a man called Charlie Groat

And he had a wife, the plague o' his life

Wha continually got on his goat.

Till one day at morn, wi' her nightgoon on

He slit her skinny throat.

Wi' a razor gash he settled her hash.

Ha, ha, ha, never was crime sae quick.

But the steady drip o the pilly slip

O' her life blood made him sick, 

While the pool o' gore on the bedroom floor

Grew cauld and clotted and thick. 

Well, he was glad that he'd done what he had

as his wife lay there sae still. 

So to finish the fun, sae weel begun

He decided himself to kill.

So he's taken the sheet fae room her cauld feet

And he's knotted it into a rope.

And he's hanged himself frae the lobby shelf

T'was an easy death, let's hope.

While wi' his last breath, in the grip o' death

He 's offered a prayer to the Pope.

Noo, the funniest turn o' the hale concern 

It's only just beginning'

Ye see, Charlie went to Hell

But his wife's noo well and still alive and sinning'

For the razr blade was JAPANESE MADE

But the sheet was DUNFERMLINE LINEN.
