The first day of the summer programme that merits the name! Six members made the journey to Bury today, and thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine (Judith is missing from the photo below as she had to leave early). Although Sally T is rather obscured by the rope, it was felt that the smiling faces in this magnificent photo reflected the feelings of all.
  | First a contribution from Carolyn. These strawberries look delicious, but she assures me they were disappointing, not juicy and sweet as advertised. I have also included her sketch from last week again, so we can see it in full. |
Diana has sent two pieces this week and a photo. She says, 'I’m using water soluble oils this week,the colour seems cleaner than the alkyds.'
| Avril was busy tackling brambles today - the ones near me really seem to have taken off in the last couple of weeks! She has, however, sent two drawings done recently from her Cours dessin book |   |
The final contribution from someone who was not out and about in Bury is from Frances. She is in Brittany at the moment and says, ' I am playing around with leaf prints using an old press we found in an antique/ junk shop here which Nick has renovated for me. I don’t have my printing inks and have been using acrylics. Third image unfinished organisation! Fourth a quick sketch done at Kingston Lacy on Sunday.'
So now to the members who DID get to Bury today. First Ian C, who has been very busy! Thanks also for two of the scene-setting photos above.
| Here are Sally T's sketches... |    |
| This is from Harriet... |  |
  | Jackie says she is more pleased with the sketch here than the painting |
And here are Sally P's sketches - someone else who had a busy day...
| I have been making an abstract painting from a small corner of another painting. Let's hope the weather has now turned a corner - though even as I type that I am hoping I am not jinxing it completely! Next week to Botesdale! |  |
