Willy Wonka – choc full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.

In our October meeting the Kibworth Art Lovers were treated to a masterclass in painting with pastels by Uppingham artist and gallery owner, Peter Barker. Peter is a self-taught artist bringing a fresh approach to painting in oils and pastels. As a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, his paintings have won him awards. His works can be seen in his gallery in Oakham which includes works by other UK artists. The gallery is well worth a visit. For more information visit Peter Barker Fine Art Gallery website.
