I was unable to go to Hemingstone this morning (really rather too far from where I am now), but I have been doing some more experimenting this week, this time with cold wax medium - a lockdown purchase that I hadn't yet tried.  I didn't know where it was going to lead, but I had  a painting taped to the easel which was in my eyeline, and when I stood back from what I had done, the influence was clearly there.  Next week, I will be trying out a paint colour called asphaltum...

Five intrepid souls did go, though I am led to believe some got lost along the way, and were rewarded with a pleasant day with a great host - Sarah (second from right in the group photo) and the weather even allowed a dip in the pool!

So here first is Avril, who has captured several elements in the garden.

And next, Sally P, who said, 'I think all 5 of us managed to get lost on the way this morning but eventually got to Sarah's house!
Sarah was a lovely host as usual. Making us tea and coffee in the morning and tea and cakes for the afternoon, saying that there would be no way she couldn't do it as it was a legacy that Tony had left.
I produced two pictures today, one of them not worthy of showing!
This one is a drawing of one of the barns. I'm trying to be more loose!'
Those are the only works I have received so far from the group who went, so now on to the other work sent in this week.
June sent me two pictures, with the comment, 'One is a pastel pencil picture of Hyderangeas rather pale, l should have chosen a darker background, and the other watercolour done in a free manner because  sunflowers make you feel happy.'  And they certainly do!
Next Carolyn, who has been studying lilies.  She said, 'I have depicted (mainly in WC) a lily which Roy bought as a bulb from The Boundary Garden centre. Lovely delicate colours, which have now faded on fully opening. '
These are from Diana, who was also unable to go today. 'Optician today so didn’t get to Sarah’s. Earlier in week found this acrylic scribble/ geli print  as inspiration.
More scribble  with felt tip and water
Then added oil pastel including metallic which give more subtle finish.'
[Hope I got these in the right order, Diana - Hannah]
Another taste of Brittany from Frances. '​Sketch in situ by River Vilaine on a cycle ride and another little square canvas using a dead 🙁 Speckled Wood I found on the path outside the house. Unlike Damien Hirst I painted it rather than stuck dead ones on a canvas!!!!'
I have noticed as I finish this how the evenings are now getting dark earlier - hopefully we can look forward to being able to meet again at the Bowls Club in the not-too-distant future.
