The end of the EAG summer. The last outing, to a familiar venue, with great hospitality. The weather is certainly autumnal here in Norfolk, though it looks as though it will be nicer tomorrow. Back to the Bowls Club next week. Hope to see as many of you as possible then for the AGM. The year does seem to have passed very swiftly - I'm not going to say what is around the corner! Many thanks to Avril and Lesley for the photos of 'Artists in Residence'. As you can see, they gathered, as is customary, for a 'Show and Tell', and you can see how few of Maggie-Anne's cakes were left by the time they got to that point!
And not only did Avril act as one of the chroniclers for the day, she also produced a lot of sketches...
| Lesley not only photographed her own work and the days activities, but also sent me Jo and Ian J's submissions. So first her own: Branches of the heavily-laden apple trees... |  |
| And here are Josie's and Ian J's... Josie's watercolour study of pears and Ian's pointillist view across the meadow. | |
| Both Sally P and Frances had to leave early, Sally P did these sketches before she left... |   |
 | And Frances did this one, 'Studio Stuff' when she got home. |
| Diana couldn't make it today, but sent memories of Maggie-Anne's garden from previous years, as well as sketches from Slapton in 2015. |     |
| Meanwhile, Carolyn has had a very good apple harvest, as we can see... an inktense drawing that has been blended and wet to give vibrancy to the apple colours. |  |
 | Jane wasn't able to go to Eye today, so she spent time finishing her pen and ink drawing of hollyhocks from the garden. |
| Harriet has sent her work from Maggie-Anne's garden today, a sketch of the bird feeders. |  |
 | I too was unable to come to Eye, as I had to get a Covid booster, and they only seem to be doing Thursdays. I have done a preliminary oil sketch for a landscape. The original image came into view behind the actors in a scene on TV, which I found intriguing, the landscape not the programme. I think I want the painting to be quite abstract, so I have to be careful not to get too literal... |
So don't forget the AGM next week. There will be a Show and Tell, so bring your favourite piece of work from the summer with you. The winter programme will also be available then. See you there!
