12 of us at the bowls club today, a beautiful sunny day, the tree outside in full blossom, and a game of bowls on the green outside, it really was beginning to feel like summer. Jenny had continued the theme by providing us with a still life table of plants and gardening paraphernalia .
Jenny modelled for us first an ‘action pose’ here are our portraits of Jennyknitting and then after the break relaxing in her chair.
Here are our portraits of Jenny
First from Jane, two finely drawn pencil portraits,
First from Jane, two finely drawn pencil portraits,
and a selection from Avril’s sketchbook.
Three from Sandra in pastel and conte pencil, a winning combination!
in complete contrast, two from Jackie who really enjoyed the movement that Jenny’s knitting gave to her pose, caught beautifully in the hands here.
Penny used fine a liner and the charcoal pencil which was a free gift from the drawing workshop.
Sally T used charcoal and white chalk giving the lovely loose effect that she was striving for.
starting off our horticultural theme , Carolyn has sent this drawing of a plum blossom in burnished crayon, she’s waiting for the apple blossom to come out so watch this space…
Harriet was attracted by the posy of double Narcissi in a blue and white jug, initially painted in watercolour, and then embellished with mixed media.
Bea was attracted to a pair of gardening gloves with lots of character.
and Elaine added her own brightly coloured flowers to the arrangement on the table to give it a bit of welly (get it!)
that’s just to prove that this blog isn’t written by AI!
ian finished two lovely pastel landscapes, we all liked the very effective threatening sky.
and Frances has sent three pictures, the first she says is not quite Rene Mackintosh, but I think she’s given him a run for his money, The second a strange cliff at Lossiemouth - or is that a ancient profile? Her back door at Mellis, and a picnic in Pont Sarrac Brittany.
