Janette Donoghue Primary teacher.   During lockdown I spent most of the week preparing home learning for the young people I had been teaching then gave myself a target of at least one painting a week.

The first paintings were terrible. Over time I learned to be a bit more creative with the colours from the numerous mistakes made. My skills have improved enormously in a few months. I attempted to paint pictures that were a real challenge but each small step led to a better outcome.
