18th November

Mild weather continues and we have had some really beautiful sunsets and sunrises.  Autumn leaves are falling, but the main change in my little garden is a dearth of birds. Even the dreaded pigeons are in short supply. 

Portrait Artists were at work at the Bowls Club this morning, portraying Jackie and then Ian, who kindly stepped up. See photo from Diana, along with her photo of sunset at the allotments.

Sally P sent us a plethora of photos of this morning's session, which you can see was quite busy.

​Carolyn worked at home as usual (although she is hinting at returning to the Bowls Club after Christmas).

She produced pencil portraits of her Dad and Step Mother from a photo. She feels the one of her Dad is the more successful.

This is Elaine's version of a picture from the cover of Paint magazine

Avril was very busy with her sketchbook, producing six sketches all together!

Here are Jane's competent Portraits

And here are June's. Sally says she has really captured Jackie in the portrait.

In this gallery, the first four are from Les Bragg .... and the last two are from Freda.

First, two from Elizabeth, then two by Sally P, followed by some quick sketches of Ian by Jackie.

Finally just in time, from Harriet, three portraits.

Next week, don't forget to send your work to Hannah. Perhaps there will be some fine images of the last of the autumn colours, which have been beautiful.

PS I saw June after her visit to the Bank yesterday and she showed me her lovely painting of autumn leaves, a continuation of her painting last week.

We also heard from Sally P that she and Jackie visited Cynthia last week, who says hello to everyone and sends her love.  She was on top form and is very happy in Hartismere Place.  They met at her house and were given lots of art materials to be offered to all at the EAG.  Lots of it went and so far £34.25 has been raised, with more to go in next week. It was decided that the money raised will go to Cancer Research UK.  Sally will give the total next week.
