Thank you to everyone who came to Brundall today. We were 10 altogether.  Luckily the rain that threatened for most of the day, held off.  Although the light may have been a little dull, we all had a good day, I think.  There has to be an apology though, for the lack of a photo of us all at teatime, which I had planned, and then forgot.  My mother always used to say that it was a sign of  a good gathering or party if you forgot something, but I think that was just an excuse for disorganisation.  Noreen wouldn't have forgotten!
Most people went down to river Yare to draw and paint, so you will see different interpretations of the water, trees and light.

But I am starting with Eileen, who went to a local nature reserve with its own small lake, Cremer's Meadow.  The water in summer is covered by duckweed and much loved by ducks and moorhens.
These are Harriet's sketches and oil painting on the river.
And these from Frances...

Here is another oil painting, from Sally P this time.
And here is one from Ian that he intends to finish (maybe by next year!) by defining the reeds at the front and knocking back the light in the water.

Next, Josie, who came with her husband Ian, to whom I apologise for not having photographed his watercolour for you to see.
Angela has been converted to oil painting with a palette knife, by the courses she has been doing with the Newlyn School of Art.

Sally T produced these sketches by the river bank.
Jane was not able to join us, but sent this pen and ink drawing of tulips for the blog.
Picture
Carolyn sent an experimental sketch of her garden pond and a more conventional drawing of a slipper
I am not going to inflict my paltry effort on you, a very poor pastel drawing or two.  Don't forget to send me your submission forms for the exhibition in Diss in July.
Sally P wants you to know of an exhibition at Diss Corn Hall, which looks very interesting.
Abstraction Now brings together some of Britain's leading abstract painters. 
While abstract painting undoubtedly reached its height in the first half of the 20thcentury, this group exhibition celebrates its relevance and vitality today. The exhibition will showcase the various formal and conceptual experimentations employed by artists such as Victoria Morton, Tim Braden, Phoebe Unwin and Jim Threapleton. 
The exhibition will run in the Upper and Lower Galleries from 21 May to 25 June and will be open between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Saturday.  See the Corn Hall website.
There is no meeting next week because of the Jubilee events.  Have a good celebration!  Contributions for the Blog should be kept for the following week, to be sent to Noreen for the 9th June.
