Old Hall Farm at Hemingstone (near Coddenham) is a regular destination for the Eye Art Guild Summer Program. It is a lovely place with five and a half acres of garden, a swimming pool, poly tunnel, veg garden and old house and outbuildings. The weather was kind to us, hot but with plenty of shade and some of us went swimming, so less creativity and more splashing about.
Sarah Hucklesby, whose house it is, is a congenial host, providing coffee and tea, and cakes in the afternoon. Here are the photos, showing the house and gardens, including the garden reflected in a mirror, and then teatime, with host, Sarah joining EAG members.

And here are photos of EAG members swimming in the pool; the poly tunnel; and daisies
To start the art work, we have Avril's 4 sketches, the first one: in the poly tunnel; the second, cloches; the third trees and dog, but the dog moved before she had finished; and the last: rhubarb.
The next three are done by Frances, the first is the barn; the second flowers; and then the house. Following these is Ian's pictures, showing a pond at the front, with flag irises, and then the house and barn with trees in front.
Jackie and Lesley both did delicate water colour paintings, Jackie's of the barn and Lesley's of the house and barn; followed by Josie's unfinished picture of the flowers and sky.
Sally P painted daises, and a drawing of the umbrella surrounded by planting; and Sally T drew the mirror with the garden reflected in it; and my two attempts, one of a sculpture and vegetation and the second of the house, showing the angles of the roof.
And thanks to Carolyn for sending her drawing of Marmaduke and Hannah her painting of Elm Hill in Norwich
See some of you next week at Dunwich (cross fingers that the weather will be OK)
