28th July 2022 - at Ian's in Westhorpe

Late Addition 29th July

Sally T tried very hard to get her work to me yesterday, and it finally arrived today, so I have added it here.  These are pen and water colour of pine trees and foxgloves going over next to trellis in Ian s garden 
Sorry not to have made it today, but I don't think you would have wanted me there.  I have a dreadful hacking cough (not THE one, though - I did a test), which I am sure no one would have wanted any contact with. Paintwise, I have been quite busy this week, as you will see later.
Six members made their way to Ian's house, where they were treated to a flow of tea and coffee and the three delicious homemade cakes!  Thanks to Ian, and especially, Linda.
Carolyn thoroughly enjoyed the EAG visit last week, and thanks those who came.  she couldn't get near her own lily pond when you were there, but this week she has tackled that subject, and also sent in a drawing done on the day of a rather fine rose on the trellis by the table, and a drawing of the articulated model she was given by a now late EAG member. 
Angela has finished the painting she started last week at Carolyn's. This just shows me again all the ways I went wrong drawing the same subject!
Picture
Avril had a busy day at Ian's. The colours of these pictures all speak of the dryness of the weather at the moment.
Jackie wasn't able to get to Ian's today, but she has worked some more on trying to paint another willow tree like the one by the side of the Mere in Diss. She was concerned with using the light and shade to describe the tree top to bottom.
Picture
Here is Noreen's work from a photo she took at Carolyn’s last week and using pastels. She says, 'Found I was getting too many layers. Not easy!'  Which I think was the consensus last week, as different versions emerged of the delicacy of the flowers with the solidity of the leaves, and the reflections, and the water...  Well done, Noreen!
Picture
Sally P gave me a verbal snapshot of the day today. She says, 'It was lovely weather wise although a big gust nearly took the sun umbrella flying and my acrylics needed spraying continually to stop them drying up. 
My painting this week is an acrylic of one of their floribunda roses and my 10 min sketch is of a few of their pots.'
Before I started coughing, I was quite busy painting this week. First is an oil painting taken from the drawing I did at Flixton, and second is a very tiny 5" x 7" canvas from a photo taken in Norfolk's newest country park, just north of Horsford. 
The blog has been posted a little late this week, as I  was hoping for more submissions. Do keep us in touch with what you have been up to, even if you can't make it on a Thursday.  If you do come on a Thursday, please share your work, we are all interested!
Next week Noreen will be in charge, and the venue for Thursday will be Saxtead Green.
