Mural created during our Art Sessions on Tuesdays for the new extension at The Helm.

 
 
 




Recently we have been given the opportunity to expand the Helm's premises which means now that in addition to the already existing centre, we  have a further couple of session rooms, a sewing room where textiles will be made towards craft fairs and an open seating and meeting area. This has caused quite a lot of excitement  at The Helm and everyone has been very keen to get involved in the decorating of the new extension.


 
 
 


We had wanted to create a calming mural of a natural scene so we decided on The Olive Trees By Van Gogh. The image was divided into 12 sections and during our Art For Relaxation we spent a few sessions fine tuning the paintings




 


 

   



By the end of the first session the canvases looked like this
 and you can start to see the image take shape

 
 

   
The Final Result!!

    When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
