Diana sent us photos she took at The Old Coach House in Brockdish a couple of years ago.  She also remembers us being there all wrapped up and it snowed.  I do hope it will not be like that for our outing there next Thursday, the first of the Summer Programme 2021 - and thanks Diana for the reminder.  Get your easels, paints and brushes ready, check your sunglasses and umbrellas and dust the cobwebs off your folding chairs.  For Summer Programme details, look under EVENTS.

​Diana says, “Sally’s bridge (shown last week) nearly defeated me, but ended up with collage plus ink and biro. I’ve also spent time preparing a sketch book with bits of old collage , white acrylic for texture and felt tip colour chart ready for next week.
"​The lovely thing about collage is that you can cheat. It's  a lesson for painting and drawing I think that you don’t have to be too careful, which suits my impatience.”
Carolyn reminds us too that this is the last of the winter programme!
About her paintings she says, “As you will surmise, I am not happy with either one of the attached. The apple blossom is lovely and has such delicate colours. The Easter cactus is very vivid and equally difficult to capture, and it also closes in the evening light.”
Carolyn is looking ahead and has taken photos in the garden (which we shall no doubt see later) so that people can see what is around. She has also done a sketch ready to use on June 3. 


Emily has a message for us - click here.
It was nice to hear from Emily again last week. However, the website was playing up again a bit, so I had to delay putting her work on until today.
So here now are the photos to show us what she has been working on and what has been occupying her creative side!  First is Emily herself with pictures she showed at the Nature Group exhibition at The Bank.  The second one is a detail of ‘an Ayuvedic Clock’ which Sophie is studying (had to look that one up - it’s apparently all to do with the rhythms of nature).  This oil painting was commissioned by Sophie of the Little Gift Shop and Eco Store in Thornham Walks. Emily’s favourite bit was the ‘cute’ snails which she added.  Next is Morning Glory, a linocut of the field she walks daily near her home; the meadow is very beautiful all year round, she says. ​

​I have been delighted by the lovely pink flowers of my wild strawberries popping up all over the garden, like little jewels.  It’s hard to capture their casual beauty - I tried, but nature wins every time.  (Noreen)

Frances says the geese arrived (first picture) and she has sent something else in mid construction,...down Cowpasture Lane in Mellis last month.

Avril has worked with Sally’s photo of the window cleaners.  She has done it on sugar paper with pastels, to good effect I think.

​

​From June: "Just a sketch, breakfast, tea, coffee and egg. l don't think Morandi would think much of this!"   Maybe ... but he didn't carry on painting till he was 90, er almost 91! (Noreen)

Harriet says, Here is my sketch for the week: the last of the daffodils from my garden - and they are very small.
​
From Sally T:  Here is my picture for today. It is work in progress. I was a bit concerned about the paleness and wanted to create more contrast. Will see how it develops. Medium is oil on canvas

​Jane
is away again this week so unfortunately  missed the zoom call.  But just in time she has sent us her lovely pencil drawing of Tulips and Freesias in a jug.  


Picture
Sally P has not been able to send us any artwork this week, but she has provided three photos to inspire any of those people not going to the old Coach House at Brockdish for an outdoor session next week:
1. Poorly Chick  2. Birthday Bouquet  3. Fred the Tread 
Sally also has a letter for us.  Please go to Messages to read it.  Click here.

That's all for now.  I hope to hear from you again next week, whether from the outing to Brockdish or from your working at home.  Noreen.
