What a glorious Spring day - with hopefully more to come as we go into the weekend! And after yesterday's shower of Saharan sand... How lucky we are to be here in such a beautiful landscape, safe from strife. How wonderful to hear that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is finally home with her family - a bright spot in the endlessly gloomy news.
I am sure that most of you are enjoying the colour returning to gardens and the blossom in the trees, with all the opportunities for sketching and painting that brings. some of us made it to the Bowls Club this morning (unfortunately, not me) for Les Bragg's stint as a model and for a varied still life, as you can see below.

 | First, Jane's beautiful rendition in crayon of a bowl of apples. |
  | And now two drawings from Carolyn, the first an atmospheric drawing with emphasis on the shadows from these conifers, the second harks back to winter with a view of her neighbour's barn, using waterolour pencils. |
| And here are two from Frances, First, done in small sketchbook...Art Graf and pen. Second, unfinished on Yupo paper...Art Graf and ink. Just having fun! |   |
Diana says of her contribution this week: 'Carried on with fabric during week loved doing it and have next idea in head.When sewing it’s not a good idea to do it on ironing board (cover)! At group this morning tried to finish a few old watercolours.'
| Here is the first of the portraits of Les from this morning. This one is from Rachel. |  |
These portraits are from Avril...
And these from Sally P...
| Finally, Harriet's still life from this morning. |  |
