STOP PRESS - Many apologies to Maggie-Anne, who had sent me a picture in plenty of time, but I failed to add it yesterday!
She said,, 'I seem to have spent pandemic months of regular birthday card production.
Here is a water colour of Mabel -the only Reardon dog now left standing  . This pic is for our son who enjoyed regular walks with her during a visit in the summer.
Sorry to have missed yet another beautiful Thursday with the team! Still tapestrying and knitting- and -drawing cards!

 It was guaranteed, I think that as soon as the children went back to school, we would finally get some summer weather!  I gather we may be in for thunderstorms later, but this morning was basking in sunshine and blue skies.
Today it was Harriet's turn to be host to the artists, seven of whom came, and were rewarded with fine weather, plenty of subject matter, tea and coffee and cakes.
Picture
Sally L spent the day at Walberswick to make the most of possibly the last bit of fine weather. S

Carolyn has been drawing in her garden, the plums on a tree, and a detailed study of a tree trunk.
Diana has sent not only the pictures from today, but also from a previous visit.  She said, 'Always enjoy going to Harriet’s. The neat tidy one is from a few years ago. The scribbles are oil pastel and pen on top of  Quink done earlier and left to dry.'
From June, two wonderful animal studies, the first is from a photo by Valerie Bevan and it is on a favourite paper l enjoy using, Bristol Board, suitable for light watercolour and  pen, in this case l used a mixed media of pen, ink watercolour and charcoal pencil.  The second is a mixed media portrait of Buttercup.
Ian took only pencils to Harriet's as he thought it would rain today.  He said, 'It was a good day for being outside.  However I drew some sketches for later working up to paintings - good intentions...'
'Seven of us turned up today at Harriet's.' Said Sally P, 'The sun shone and by the end of the day we were all feeling a bit fatigued. Luckily Harriet made some delicious cakes, Kale, orange and chocolate and a fruit from the orchard with stem ginger (both scrumptious) to go with our tea and coffee. Along with drinks on arrival and at lunchtime.
'My offerings are below. Two drawings of crab apples and a pastel of Rudbeckia.'
And here is Harriet's photo of some of today's group together with a luscious-looking basket of fruit, and her own sketches and an unfinished painting.
Last week Sandra drew the field behind Les's house on her iPad, and sent me one of the resulting, striking images.  She said at the time that it was very freeing, because of the limits of the medium.
Picture
This week Avril also used her iPad, with quite interesting results.  She said it took quite a long time to work her way around the programs, but it got better later in the day.
Jackie was not able to go along today, but instead sent a view of Wingfield Church sketched on Tuesday, when she said it was too hot to stay out for long.
Picture
Sally T cycled to Harriet's and produced these three sketches.
Frances' three sketches are:
1. Early Thursday morning  in Mellis. Just applying some colour.
2. Southwold on the beach, Thursday.
3. Basket of fruit at Harriet’s...had to leave early.
Before you go, remember to check the Stop Press before going to any of the remaining venues.  You will find changes to the arrangements for 30th September are listed on the page.  There will also shortly be details of the new Winter programme available to view on the Events page.  Let's hope the weather continues nice enough for the remaining Summer programme.
