Let's begin straight away with Carolyn's, who is nearly always first in with her offering. She worked at home on a portrait in pencil from a photo from the internet, but I gather she wished she had chosen a subject with more character.
Hannah too worked from home and successfully finished the oil painting begun a couple of weeks ago (set-aside at Thornham). She has also sent one of a number of small (8"x12") paintings she is preparing for the next exhibition she is participating in. This is a view in Norwich.

Ian has been on holiday and sent us a painting of St Bride's Bay, Pembrokeshire, as seen from the window of their accommodation - sheep included. The sky, he says, is pretty much as it was on the day.


​Avril is the first one today to send in her work from the Bowls Club session, three portraits. She says she is out of practice. I don't know about that but she seems to have had a pretty good try.

These are Diana's photos. They show her colourful watercolour for today in amongst many other beautiful examples of her work and including a view of the portrait artists working away today. Thanks Diana.

​Harriet
tells us she is currently in Wales, where she did this sketch trying to capture the lovely autumn colours.
From Sally P we learn that there were 11 members at this morning's session, where she did a pastel portrait of Lesley. She has also submitted an abstract landscape from the workshop at The Bank, run by Hashim Akib, using acrylics and a 1.5" brush. This is something she wishes to develop further.

More portraits below, this time from Sally T.  Both are in charcoal and white pastel and Sally is happier with the second of the two.
Jackie says they had a good model this morning (Lesley) and plenty of space. Good to see full length portraits, Jackie. She has also included a sketch started at Titchwell, N.Norfolk and finished at home because they were startled by a Red Kite and flew away.
A couple of final entries from June.  First a leaf from a special maple tree in her garden, one she planted in memory of her mother. Second, a portrait from this morning's session


​That's all for today, folks.  Next week is Hannah's turn to write the blog so please send all your images to her.
