Painting fruit in jelly

This weeks art class in aged care focused on the theme of remembering Tupperware and the foods that people made and stored in Tupperware containers and moulds in the 60's and 70's, like fruit in jelly. One of the men shared a story about how his wife had bought and hosted many a Tupperware party, asking "can you still buy Tupperware today?"
As we painted our fruits in jelly with watercolour paints, conversation flowed to other things people did in the 60's and 70's, like travelling to the Rainbow Valley in the Northern Territory to paint landscapes.
It's always interesting for me to run classes in aged care, as when people become absorbed in painting, what can begin as a conversation about Tupperware can lead to all sorts of conversations!
