My mobile weather centre told me we were going to have lots of sunshine around Eye today and so far so good. We need brightness and colour when we are bombarded daily from all angles with the most dire news and even ‘dark’ entertainment.  So I am hoping for lots of bright and colourful pictures from you.

I hope everyone remembered to send their work to me this week, as Hannah is having a day out on her birthday - Best Wishes, Hannah!  I will be back again next week for the figure drawing session, then it’s Hannah the following week with still life.  But you don’t have to be attending the sessions to submit work, as we welcome all your efforts, whatever the subject and wherever completed.
Sally P tells us there were only nine present this week. She thinks the beautiful day and family commitments kept several away!  "For some reason it took a while for us all to settle today and then we finished slightly earlier as well!" She sent us these two pictures of the room set up.

First as usual with her offering for today’s blog was Carolyn. She had a fall in her kitchen a couple of weeks ago but tells me she is slowly recovering.  
​She is good at identifying subjects in everyday objects and today she has sent us an illustration of her colourful cotton reels.
Next came Diana, who describes her offering as "a few bits and pieces from the garden".  And very nice they are too!

Avril tells me she has not been in the zone today, but she has certainly been prolific! Here are her five images.
Lesley (Bu) says:  I found a huge horse mushroom in a shady corner of my garden so brought it to paint.  Three quick acrylic sketches in the style of Hashim Akib whose workshop I went to at the Bank last week, then the original, taken from a different angle.
Sally P sketched one chilli paper, but was then lured to Lesley's freshly dug and potted mushroom.  First is a sketch, then in with pen and watercolour.

​From Eileen we have two acrylics just started today.
​
Josie and Les (Br) have both submitted portraits, Josie'e unfinished and Les's from his imagination.

June's picture is Halloween inspired, from a magazine photo.

And this is Harriet's picture for the week.

A final note:  During the summer programme and all-day sessions, we asked members to submit their work for the blog by 6pm.  Now we are on the winter programme of half days, it would be helpful if we could have submissions earlier than this, say by 3pm?  All being well, this would help us to get the blog organised, done and dusted before tea/dinner time and save having to have late additions.

Cheers everyone.  I look forward to hearing from you next Thursday.

​PS  Received this lovely painting from Jackie this evening after a roundabout trip via Hannah.  She says "(I have been) staying the weekend in north Norfolk, this is a quick watercolour sketch of St. Nicholas Church, Salthouses from the footpath. I'm still working on two other sketches and have to say how delightful it was, sitting in the autumn sunshine with wide, open skies".
