Nine members came to the wonderful garden today. the weather improved and we were given chairs to sit on to do our great works. Here are a selection of photos taken to give a taste of our surroundings. Plus Lesley talking to Jane the owner.
Lesley stayed until after lunch and produced 2 Hosta's black and white sketches plus a delicate water colour.
    Sally painted two watercolours of the peonies, the first one was on inferior paper and she said the second one was better on the higher quality paper she also painted a Laburnum tree. | Ian C tackled two sculptures an endearing one of the pigs and another of the children having fun on the see saw. He was inspired by the blackbirds and other members busy painting. |
Ian J drew used his pointillism skills to capture the trees and flower, a vibrant peony and went to the church and made a competent architectural sketch.
Jo took a little time to get started but made up for it by producing lively sketches of Hostas, Peonies and a great ink view.
Harriet made a bold rendition of the Hostas, a structured pen and watercolour of a rose and an interesting pencil and pen sketch of the lemon tree.
Jackie used two pages to spread the clematis which gave the rambling feel to the watercolour and the peony looked delicate with its salmon pink petals.
Avril attempted the tree and foliage and realised it was too great an ask, then knuckled down to 3 pencil sketches
 This sent from Carolyn - Attached is a drawing of a mobile. (It was purchased on holiday in Lanzarote some years ago). |  I didn’t go today but I did get some plants from the venue last year including this yellow petunia,Diana x |
I hope you are enjoying Jane’s garden…. Lovely place.
