Hopeful news at last, with a vaccine in the offing!  I know it's still quite a long path back to 'normal', but at least the gate has now been opened a crack.  And with Christmas just around the corner, albeit maybe rather a strange-shaped Christmas, we can all start to look forward to a new year at EAG IRL (in real life)! 
In the meantime, The Bank has written to me to pass on to you all that they are offering on line art lessons, starting this month.  You can have a look at this HERE
I am not going to post this until Friday, to allow for a late straggler or two, if there are any...
Picture
Starting this week with Caroline's painting of the boat from a couple of weeks ago, which has a really solid feeling.
Next Avril, who has been working further on lino cuts.  She says, 'I was very lucky to see Frances through my window and she gave me several Lino printing items, e.g. rollers cutters, board so I have been having fun using them this morning.  The registration is not very good and I learnt a lot about which bits to cut out, there are three layers here yellow, red and blue. I did use tracing paper to try to register the boards which I think helped a bit.
And here is Frances' own linocut, plus two other pictures of hers, from Jane's images last week.
Collage with Found Objects from Diana. 'The collage was nearly finished when I decided to cheat, hence the pens, the quill I made about 30 years ago. I decided to work on pastel paper and found 7 sketch books which I had forgotten about, reminded me how much I loved Becky’s classes.'

Jane has also been doing linocuts, based on drawings from the summer, and then hand coloured them to produce this selection.
From Sally T.;  pictures for today of pots, watercolour (a bit wonky) and charcoal pencil. Sally told us on Zoom about two videos she had watched this week.

Sally P. said she had all good intentions of getting into studio at 9.00a.m! After a phone call, elevenses and window cleaners round, not much painting time! Very early stages of still life taken from Jane's photo idea. Acrylics on board, no drawing first. 
Picture
Harriet has painted Jane's anemone from last week and a collection of the last flowers from her garden.
I have made another painting from my abstract of a few weeks ago - great fun to do, with a palette knife - but too quick, so I will have to do another!  Then I used pen and ink for this drawing of an oak tree in its autumn finery.  This isn't finished (and may not be!)
As you can see, Frances has given us a variety of images to think about, and use for next week. 
Don't forget about your Christmas greeting, which can be sent to me for inclusion next week.  Even if you haven't been contributing to the blog, we would all like to hear from you!
