It looks as though it's going to be a nice day, I hope so anyway for those going to Burston. But let's start with some contributions from elsewhere.
| We’ll start with Lesley’s painting from 26 May, which inadvertently was missed from the last blog. The first photo is of her sketch of the R. Yare, and the second is after she added some stronger darks to it when back in Hannah’s garden; she was very pleased with these results and you can see how greatly improved it is. |   |
  | Carolyn has submitted two drawings. The first one is from her own garden pond with a flowering waterlily. The second is a dolphin, from a photograph in the paper and she says it is a late drawing for the Chairman’s project on movement. |
Diana tells us her boys decided to put up with her for a week in Cornwall. She has sent us photos of Bodmin Moor, an old engine house, Treyarnon Bay and last but not least her sketch sitting on Bodmin Moor looking towards rain clouds over Dartmoor. I know Diana loves this part of the world so I hope she had a very good time.
| Next we come to Burston, where Dorothy, a long-standing member of EAG and a great painter, invited us to her lovely house and garden. There were 9 of us altogether, 6 of whom stayed to enjoy tea and chat. |   |
| Harriet showed us two images, a sketch of the garden and a more finished painting of the same view. |   |
  | From Jackie we have a watercolour sketch from today and also her accomplished finished painting of Mellis. |
| Lesley caught sight of a tractor, which she interpreted in a watercolour sketch, followed by an oil painting. Last but not least a "quick" sketch in sanguine of the house. | |
| The field opposite Dorothy's caught Sally P's eye. This is her interpretation in oils. |  | From Hannah, not at Burston today, an oil painting she has started. She thinks it will stay quite stylised. The texture of the water is a happy accident created by the painting underneath that she has covered over. |  |
| From Frances we have two pictures. The first is acrylic based on May colours at Redgrave and Lopham Fen, completed last week. This picture shows a Thick Legged Flower Beetle which she saw on the Guelder Rose. (She is very proud she remembered the name!!!) The second is a very quick sketch done this morning at Burston and then doctored somewhat at home! |   |
| Angela wasn't able to stay all day (dog duties) but started a tree study looking out of Dorothy's garden, finished at home. She has also submitted her view of the river from last week now finished. |   |
Well we were lucky with the weather, lots of sunshine but not too hot.
Sorry I haven't any artwork to offer today. It was just about all that June and I could do to get to Dorothy's, but we did enjoy seeing you all and your interesting contributions. Many thanks to Dorothy for her kind hospitality.
The outing next week is to Walberswick and all your submissions go to Hannah. Remember, we want to see what you are doing by way of artwork, at home or anywhere else. So do keep in touch.
