Frances has reminded me that this is our third week of remote EAG-working.  I have been looking forward to hearing how you are all getting on and what great art or humble sketches you are producing.  Some excellent work is coming in and hopefully there will be lots more still to come.  And not only from the regulars, but also it would be good to hear from the not-so-regular members.  You can send a message by email to me (Noreen) or using the comments section attached to the blog, even if you have not completed a piece of work to send.

​From Sally P (where are T and L today?):  Signs of Spring AND Something Fruity.  "Had great fun.  It's good to have this challenge even though the daffy isn't brilliant.  For next week's subject (if you wish) how about 'The Kitchen'."  

PS  A painting in progress from Sally T has been added at the end.  
There is also a further stage from Diana and three paintings from Harriet below.

From Carolyn two pictures:  The blue pot is from Harriet’s still life session.  The amaryllis stem is part of her series on this plant (watercolour /  watercolour pencils on top).  which just keeps growing, producing more stems and flowers.

June has been busy again with this celebration of spring and Mother’s Day.  
​Lesley’s piece was finished only yesterday.  It is a landscape of the west coast of New Zealand from a photo she took on her trip there in 2016.  It’s mixed media:  acrylic painted on Egyptian cotton, then machine stitched, then collaged.  She is gifting it (framed) to her travelling companion for her 70th birthday

Frances has returned to hares, having seen so many on recent walks.  She cut out this little one and printed it over an exisitng print of a lupin.  The second photo is of a work in progress … 
Cynthia cannot send photos to us, but she put her work out in the garden on a chair for me to photograph and we had a brief 6ft distant chat.

Diana pulled out half a drawer-ful of half-finished paintings, then put them away again and decided instead on something small and simpler in oil.  
​
You don’t need to be told the other one is Jane’s!  It is almost finished - pen & ink (was originally on her calendar).  So much detail, without losing the whole effect.​

True to her word, Avril has added another item to her previous set-up, so now we have chicken, teddy and dolly in the conga.  As it grows week by week the conga leaders will just have to disappear off into the distance, she says.  She found painting the doll’s face in pastel was hard.

Another view of Noreen's garden in acrylics (she gave up trying to make it loose) and, above it, a watercolour sketch of just a small patch of the garden done yesterday.
The Blog is not closed if anyone wishes to send any more work or messages.

​PS  Just in:  another stage in Diana's painting, although still not finished.
​And on the right one from Sally T, a work in progress.

Another welcome contribution, from Harriet.  She has a lot of old tubes of oils, which she has been using up - and getting in a bit of a mess in the process, she says!  She hasn't finished her picture of the hellebore yet as they have been busy with a veg. patch which will eventually be rabbit and dog proof.
