Many thanks to Hannah for lots of location photos from Earsham, including one of our artists at work - apart from Jackie who was tied up meeting today's host, Annabelle, and giving arrivals directions. Glorious weather and beautiful house and gardens. They were constantly serenaded by birdsong - and regularly screamed at by the resident peacocks.

| Now here is Hannah's own work, representing, she says, about 2.5 hours - amazing how long it takes to get the relationship of each part, and the relative scale. She is apparently not too happy with it, especially the detail, but I would be delighted if it were mine. She hopes to work on it some more. |  |
 | Lesley has also sent us fine drawing. She says, another hot day and a good turnout, all looking for a space in the limited shade, hence many of today’s paintings at Earsham Hall show similar views! This one is pen with some indian ink wash. |
| Liz has gone to town with colour on her painting, but first the drawing in pencil. |    |
| | Here are some different takes on the views, two of Josie's sketches and one of Ian J's. |
| Sally P's is the first picture here, about which she says: A rather crude picture of part of the house from me. I used watercolour pencils which didn't help....well that's my excuse anyway! The second is from Sally L, who has done well tackling the very complicated roof-scape. |   |
| Our third Sally, Sally T : Here are my pictures for today. Quick sketches of an avenue of trees and a part of the building. Needed more time. | |
| Harriet has sent in two pictures, the second of which is unfinished. |   |
 | Avril says: I only did one today as I needed it for my textile group as we are doing architecture. I also have to thank Avril for lots more location photos, which will be added at the end. Our final contributors were not at Earsham today. |
| This is from Carolyn: The clock face was done as the grandfather clock was moved and dismantled. She says: I had to concentrate to get all the numbers the right way up and in the correct order! It is InkTense - blended. The garden view is a watercolour painting done quite quickly: I was experimenting a bit. |   |
  | Our traveller, Frances, has been to Spain and now is in Brittany for a couple of weeks. Her first sketch was done in Spain, looking towards Los Picos de Europa, with a village in the foreground. For the second sketch Frances was seated on a bench on the Isle de Moines in the Golfe du Morbihan. |
| I have also received, via Hannah, a drawing from Jill, herewith. I think that is all for this week except to say that I (Noreen) will be doing the blog AGAIN NEXT WEEK as Hannah has something else on. We have swapped weeks so after that, Hannah will be doing the following two weeks running. |  |
Now here are some of those additional photos from Avril.
