Just for the record, you are in Hannah's hands this week!  I hope I can live up to the legend that is Noreen, having kept us all in touch for so many weeks.  Unfortunately, her back will not allow her to sit at the computer at the moment, so I think we will all wish her better, and hope that she is soon up and about again. 
We all have next week to look forward to - with our first outdoor meeting of the year at Thornham Walks.  Let's hope the weather continues to hold up - it would be just our luck after all these fine, dry weeks to have rain get in the way now.

Guess who this is, deep in disguise.  And I wonder if we will be able to tell who is who when we next meet at the bowling club, if we are all in masks. 
It's taken the government long enough to arrive at the obvious conclusion that putting something between the breath or cough of someone who is ill, and the outside world, might be helpful, not least because everyone would feel a little safer!

Avril's still life subject, and the finished painting.

Diana says this is an early stage of a painting that she feels the more she did the worse it got. It might yet turn into a landscape !

Dahlias from Jane.

Carolyn's " An orchid that I have coaxed into flowering again". Very delicate (as orchid flowers are).

Frances is still working on her large painting - here is an update.
Isn't it interesting how completely different each of the above four are in style and treatment, when they all have as their subjects plants of one kind and another.

The first of Frances' two sketches from this week.

And this is her grandson, who stayed still just long enough!

Sally L. has sent a link to a new video by Andrew Pitt, for creating a summer landscape in watercolour.

She also sent this oil pastel of a house she has painted before.
Wonderfully vivid colour, and the reflection guides you in to the house.

Harriet's paintings this week both have watercolour backgrounds , with  acrylic foregrounds.

And she has included the scarecrow she has made for the village, which has a painterly face, for our amusement...
It looks much too kind to frighten the crows!

Just in case you didn't get it, here is the reveal for Sally P's drawing!

And I haven't done anything this week (again).  Lots of non art stuff, and the disappointment of finding out that two jars of jam from this year are full of fungal fur!  Great cucumbers, though, and plenty of beans.

So, I hope Noreen will get well soon, and hope that I will see some of you next week.

That's all for the moment, if anything else comes in I will add it later.

Well done, artists, some excellent work this week.
And well done Hannah.
I don't think I will get to Thornham Walks, but have a great day.
