This has not been a good week for art for me.  Too much DIY and Grandparently duties got in the way.  
This week's visitors to Hoxne had to contend with cool and windy conditions.  7 brave souls did so, and I also have work from others who were elsewhere, but still working in sketchbooks etc.
First Frances' contribution from Brittany:
'​Shells and stones on the beach,
Chateau Beausoleil Air B&B near Nantes where we have stayed for a few days with our family,
Horses in the grounds of chateau,
And fourthly one of my grandsons was eager to be included on the blog!!!! Luckily not a portrait of me!'    The inherited skills are definitely there!
And here, from June, a beautiful watercolour of hibiscus.
Picture
Sally P reports from Hoxne today, '​Only 7 of us turned up today. Les Bragg, Harriet, Diana, John, Jackie, Hilary and myself. No photo of us all as some were morning only and some of us afternoon only. It was a bit breezy but okay as long as you were wrapped up warmly.'  She has sent photos of the venue as well as her own work.
Jackie has sent both work from her holiday last week, and the results of today's outing in Hoxne. First, a feature in the garden at Ta Mill where she stayed, second a study of flowing water, and third, today, she says, 'After making a sketch of Park Farm house, it was just too windy and cold to progress with so after finding a less windy corner, this stone trough drew my attention.'
From Carolyn, apples ripening on a tree in her garden, and a sketch of eupetorium,  one of Roy's flowers. 'It has grown to unusual heights this year (funny weather?)' She says... I am quite pleased to know what this is, as it grows profusely where our boat is moored (including on one of our mooring posts).
​Diana says, 'It is the middle week of La Vuelta. ( next week northern Spain Eurosport channel free).  So I have tried to treat Spanish rooftops like the landscape scribble from last week first with felt tip and water , then with oil pastel. The landscape was done today at Hoxne very quickly because it was cold and windy, so again I missed the cake!'
Next Harriet, who sent last week's picture after I had 'gone to press', so here it is... along with her work from this week.
Finally from Lesley, '​I’m on holiday with the family,  near Hay on Wye this week. These are pages from my sketchbook of the beautiful Welsh  countryside around our rented farmhouse. The first two are views from my bedroom window. Brilliant when one can paint ‘en plein air’ leaning on a window cill!'
Have a good and productive week.  If you have pictures in the exhibition at the Bank, don't forget to collect them on Monday at 3pm.
