Maggie-Anne came dressed for the outside weather in her first pose this morning! For some reason it was quite cold in the room - it seems to be either too hot or too cold - but maybe that's just how we come dressed. We also welcomed a new member, Graham, who joined the portraitists. Let's hope he enjoyed his first time.
The hyacinth in the still life was turned repeatedly to ensure that an eventual position was found to suit as many members as wanted to include it. The scent that wafted from it at intervals during the morning was heavenly.
I had to go very early, so thank you to Avril, who provided me with the photos and comments from the end of the morning [Hannah].

But first, Angela's pics from the workshop Frances gave last week on hagstones. She has worked further on the coloured one after the event.
| And here is Duke, from Carolyn, one of her very characterful animal portraits. |  |
| Diana found her own composition for the hyacinth, with plenty of colour. Her second photo shows that 'It used to be art all over the kitchen table ,now it’s jigsaws...' |   |
Here are the portraits from this morning...
First Elizabeth's (2), Ian J's and Jackie's

Next Penny's, and new member Graham's...
Finally Avril's crop from this morning.
| | Judith was 'fiddling' with books and repeating dogs - not sure the books are the right way up, but they looked like this was the way they were supposed to be... |
| Harriet has been doing an online composition course with Sally Hirst, and has used it to good effect here. |  |
| And finally, Sally P, with elements of the still life and then using up leftover paints for the fish. |   |
My effort was not either good or finished, as I left too early.
In two weeks time there is a morning-only workshop for working towards our exhibitions in the summer. The first exhibition, at Eye Town Hall, is for A4 sized framed pictures for which frames can be bought for £10. The second is at the Bank for the whole of June. Come and use the time to prepare your entry for either. Even if you are not taking part, come, and use the time for your own project.
Next week's blogger is Avril. Please send contributions to her.
