A big Thank You to everyone for sending in artwork and comments for our weekly update.  I’m sure that many appreciate seeing what you have been working on and sharing any thoughts you have about it, even if they don’t have the facility themselves for sending in photos of their work.  Occasionally it has been possible to photograph work for others - as Sally P has done this week for Tom.   Cynthia was all set for a photo session, but hasn’t actually completed anything this week.
Sally’s suggested subject for next week is:  “On my (name of room) Window Sill”.  This could be a simple still life or it might include some window frame or view outside.  Or, as usual, just do your own thing.
​Note:  I have just reinstated the text (above), which mysteriously disappeared before publishing the blog.  My apologies.  N.

Hannah has hardly done any art work this week, but she has emailed:  "Too busy with gardening as all the weeds have been shouting at me from the flowerbeds for too long, and the veg seeds needed planting to get going for the summer. I went out looking for the meteor shower very late on Tuesday night, but saw nothing but helicopters that flew so low they set off the parking lights in the church car park opposite!  There was also a flock of buzzards in the sky here on Sunday, seven of them, which was amazing.  This afternoon I am having a go at the still life I set up two weeks ago, so I hope I will have something for you next week … it’s good to hear how everyone who contributes is doing."

I will add any more contributions that come in.  I hope you all have been enjoying the lovely sunshine as well as beavering away at your projects.  N.

PS Another excellent one just in, from Sally L.  Aren't the colours great!  
And from Richard, who hasn't got a painting to show but sends a photo (a recent shot of the moon);  he has been a bit off colour the last few days with a stomach upset, but is bearing up.

Hi Everyone,
I had an email today from the National Portrait Gallery to say that the BP Portraits Exhibition will open on line on 5th May. Go to www.npg.org.uk for more information.

Best Wishes to all,
Hannah

Hi,
I should have said, you will have to use the arrows at the side of the big picture just below the title on the homepage to scroll to the words 'Shortlist Artists Announced' to find the BP info. Or wait for it to come round in turn.

As a vulnerable 90 year old, a word of appreciation. Thanks to Sally P for encouraging us to continue inspite of the dreaded virus. Also to Noreen for her computer skills in allowing to keep in touch. I find the weekly picture an enjoyable challenge and distraction from the news!
