Eight members went today to the Brockford Light Railway for a sunny day of drawing and painting.  Tracks and trains and dilapidated carriages.  Here are the photos to prove it, sent by Sally P and Diana.  Group photo taken by Sally P (hence her absence).
Diana sent a round up of both her sketching from this morning and a previous year at my house (looking out through the gate that doesn't open into the field at the side of the garden.), and photos from earlier in the week, and the carriage (above - last picture) from today.
2. Wonderful window display at Southwold on Monday.  2. Field view, Hannah's house, a couple of years ago.  3. Double ended felt tip , plus water,  plus drawing pen .
Avril had a very busy day today, with two very different kinds of results.  The afternoon sketches are very graphic and almost schematic - very interesting, and I expect she will be using them for printing...
Jackie included a wonderful watercolour of a rose in her garden with her contribution today, as well as the railway sketches.  She said, 'We had such a welcome at the Mid-Suffolk Railway Museum with many choices of subject. I started with this sketch, moved on to another dilapidated carriage that I shall continue with at home then finished with another sketch of the worn timbers and rusted ironworks.'
From Frances, 'Here are two sketches and one oil pastel and ink, the latter inspired by the shapes I observed.'

Ian sent this sketch, and said, 'Calmer skies today. This one needs finishing...'
From Sally T.  'Two pencil sketches. One of rails disappearing into the distance. The perspective was difficult. The second is of a dilapidated railway carriage. I liked the peeling paint and broken wood. The last is the beginning of a watercolour which I need to work on. It is looking through carriage no 13.'
Finally, of the Brockford visitors, here are Sally P's sketches.  As you can see, she had to extend the paper in the first of these!
So now for the contributions from those who couldn't make it in person to Brockford, but still sent something in, and thanks very much to both of them for doing so.
First Jane, who is away, but has sent what she is working on when she is home, a very seasonal image.

And now Carolyn, with more sketches from her lovely garden, which we visited earlier in the season. Because the spring was so late this year, she was disappointed in the show of blooms at that time (none of her visitors were), and she has been sending in regular updates ever since! 
I haven't got down to any art this week, but I have been busy in a crafty way, making jewellery.  But here is some more inspiration for you from my garden.  Have a good week.
