Eleven members were at the Bowls Club this morning, a beautiful crisp sunny day.
Harriet had provided us with a wide variety of winter soup making vegetables, but being the eager beavers that we are we drew them instead.

and David prepared himself for the gruelling task of modelling.
First an appetiser from Carolyn, an Avocado pear, which looks certainly good enough to eat, the outer skin has such a lovely texture, perfectly captured.
And now for the vegetables…Josie’s vibrant composition I think has a touch of Cezanne, strong shapes picked out effectively against the varied background colours.
Jane’s drawings of part of the still life display, and almost ‘vegetable portraits’ of the separate elements
Sally P tackled the tricky shiny metal pot, with almost too good to eat luscious vegetables
Frances ( left) And Avril (right) drew almost the same section of the still life table.
Jenny painted the delicate trailing leaves of the Tradescanthia and some edible looking tomatoes, and Frances also drew a striking version of the Jade plant.
and here are the portraits of David.
From Avril, some striking likenesses.
From Harriet, very delicately drawn, and beautifully observed hands always a tricky subject.
From Ian, a portrait in pencil.
and from Jackie a lovely figure study. Especially effective against the coloured background,
, and part of the still life.
And from Frances, a strong graphic image.
Meanwhile on the side table Maggie Ann drew this charming portrait of her dog Mollie in Pastel pencil.
I worked on versions in tone and composition of a landscape that I might get round to painting…
Jenny brought in this finished version of a boat started at a workshop session a few weeks ago, to remind us of summer days ahead.
