11th August 2022, hoxne water mill

I am afraid I couldn't face going out to sketch today in the heat and sunshine.  I have retreated indoors to make jam (almost as hot, but very short-lived heat) with plums kindly given by my next-door neighbour.  My studio is delightfully cool in this weather, so I have actually been quite productive this week, as you will see.
Before we get to those who went to Hoxne Water Mill today, I have been sent several examples of pictures completed there in the past. 
First, from Noreen, from 2015, and including a fellow artist (do you recognise yourself?), a delightful watercolour.

Then Diana sent a number of sketches, all from past years...

Sally T was not able to go today, but has finished an oil painting of Mellis that she was working on last week - very evocative and lovely perspective.
Carolyn, with reference to last week, sent a lovely watercolour sketch of Saxtead Green.  She tells me that holidays there were what persuaded her and Roy to move to Suffolk.  She also attached a drawing of a fully opened rose from her garden - watercolour pencil
Frances is in Brittany and has sent a charcoal still life and two stages of a picture she is working on:
Small sketch done in situ looking from their favourite beach, across nature reserve to chateau de Suscinio, and larger acrylic in the making of same.
Here is what I have been up to.  First, an oil on board taken from some of the machinery at Flixton.  This is 'Totem'. And then a sketch from a photo in Thorndon, that I have plans for...
Here are the first of the work produced at Hoxne today.  Lesley's sketches are, first, pencil on white paper, and the next two are using zig graphic twin felt tips, again on white paper. [These photos looked very blue on screen, and I have done some adjustment to try to get rid of most of the blue - hope they now look OK, Lesley, don't know why this sometimes happens! And not just to you - Hannah]
Avril was obviously very much inspired - lots of sketches here!  Full of detail, and plenty to use if she wants to take them further...
Jackie has included her finished painting from last week with her work from today.  She said, 'Quite a pleasant breeze this morning if sitting in the shade. Wonderful place, so many scenes to choose from followed by tea and cake in Sally's shady garden.'
Next we have Josie and her husband, Ian, who has joined in a number of the sessions this summer.  first Josie's two, then Ian's.
Harriet was another of those who has completed work on the Saxtead windmill since last week, so here it is, along with her work today, which was done in acrylic, which dried very quickly and is not totally finished.
Angela left early today, and has sent her oil sketch from this morning along with some other pieces, ‘sea marbles’ followed by ‘Finding my way out of the wild wild wood’ then ‘Summer pond’ .
Finally, from Sally P, a painting from this morning that she is still wrestling with, and photos of the scene and the tea time at her garden, which looks very shady and cool!
Let's hope the heat breaks soon!  Don't forget it's Noreen turn to be Blog Queen next week.  Send your pictures to her in good time.
