String Painting

While many who live with us remain modest when it comes to their hidden talents, several of our residents here are a dab hand with a paintbrush! This week, we experimented with string painting as a means to create something quite abstract and colourful and the outcome was spectacular!

Most enjoyed how the splash of vibrant colours mixed together to create striking images. Some saw birds, some saw fish, someone even said the saw and octopus! Others noticed images of a person fishing, or a mother pushing her pram.

The stories and tableau's which unfolded from these paintings were excellent and many really let their imaginations run wild – it was truly spellbinding.
