I have definitely let the side down this week, finishing so late (says Hannah).  My first excuse (not too bad) is that we have had an electrician in the house all day, turning things off and on, so I didn't want to start until he had finished, or I might have lost whatever I had added.  The second (not so good) is that once I had started an old friend, whose birthday this is, rang me, and rather a lot of chat ensued!  Anyway, here it is - Sorry Noreen!

Let's start with Carolyn again, with what she described as a 'Garden Doodle'.  I love the delicacy of the plums, and the colour is just perfect.

Avril used watercolour and gouache on a study of pebbles from the beach. Before the photo could be taken the arrangement was disturbed, not that it matters.  The contrast of the vivid blue with the subtle colours of the pebbles works very well.

A lovely finished painting from Sally L. The dark, fine lines set off the colour and composition so well, have a look at last week's blog to see how it has progressed.

Jane took up the challenge from last week (unlike me, who promptly forgot all about it as soon as I posted it).  She sent this drawing of her hand drawing her feet,

Sally T has also drawn her hand, four versions from a mirror, and the fourth looking directly.  She says it was two very different experiences.

Another tree drawing from Les Bragg, but very different from the one he drew at Thornham Walks...
Pages from Harriet's sketchbook, containing different views of her garden.
Frances has sent a sketch and two drawings in preparation for a painting.
Sally went with Jackie to the thatcher's field, and using both the photo and the drawing, has made a pastel drawing on Pastelmat paper.  Lovely colours and I particularly like the depth of both the field and the sky.

Here is my painting for the week.  Diana's favourite bit of my garden, the view across the field.  They have cut the wheat today.  Above the potatoes we DIDN'T plant did so much better than those we did.  The one bottom left is over 600 gm on its own!

Totally forgiven Hannah. I really appreciate your stepping in to help Noreen and you are doing a great job and I bet Noreen and the rest of the group feel the same. The continuity of this blog is so important to keep us in touch.

I certainly agree with you, Sally. Such great and varied work from members, and beautifully presented, Hannah.
