Today started off rather cloudy and damp but cheered up later with the hot sunshine.  I wonder how many of us ventured to Mellis Common for some plein air painting.  Not me, I’m afraid, bearing in mind my need for an afternoon nap these days!  But here are just a few of those who did.

Carolyn has sent us two offerings using her Inktense pencils, a peony and an abstract design of trees. She was inspired by the circular frame that Frances often uses and enjoyed experimenting.

​
Hannah’s contribution to the blog today is a detailed and rather beautiful still life drawing. I hope we will see the finished work on a future blog.

From Noreen:  This is yet another view I see on one of my regular constitutionals along Moorhall Causeway close by. It can look very different on different occasions, depending on perspective, weather and season.  This is my third view in acrylics from almost the same spot.

From Diana today, who says:  Quick sketch and photos. Lovely lemon cake. Irises from Brockdish where we sometimes go to draw.

From Jackie, who says the wet morning delayed start but it was a useful day.  Watercolours as usual I believe.
Harriet has sent two pictures she has done this week, the irises on Monday and the pond at Mellis today.
Sally P did a masterly oil painting of the house next to Sally T's.  It isn't finished, but Sally had used her colours up - and by nearly 3pm the lure of tea and cake was strong.  Sally has also sent a photo of the scene but has, as she said, used artistic licence.

​Sally added that 12 members turned up in Mellis and went at various times throughout the day, with ten staying for delicious afternoon tea, homemade lemon cake and biscuits.
From Frances we have a photo of her bog garden and a painting in oil pastels and inks - having fun with the media and the image.
She has also sent three pieces of Sandra's:  1. Pencil drawing of Village Hall pond.  2. A second pencil sketch of the same.  3. Pastel with under painting of the pond.
​
I have been asked to put two notices on the blog today.  First, it has been decided at committee to make the deadline for submissions to the blog 6pm during the summer. This should allow people time to get back from the day’s venue. This might mean delaying publication until Friday.  Secondly, the Bank has an exhibition for the Jubilee entitled ‘The Queen and Eye’ (details on their website) that members may wish to submit entries for. They should contact the Bank direct to do so.

Next week’s outing is to Hannah’s at Brundall.  Please look at Stop Press for details about parking etc.  And Hannah’s computer is back in working order so please send your work for the blog to her next Thursday.

​Meanwhile, happy painting!
