I am missing out on the “blether” cos my drawings are all a bit naff these days.   These little sods are invading my garden at the moment so I am about to  wage war on them….individually….i don’t do herbicides though sometimes I wish I did.   Some lovely work from everyone…Lew I am trying to think up a narrative for your kitchen trio…something to do with clever sand sharp knives.   Enjoy the sun.

Tessa that is a lovely delicate sketch beautifully done. Lewis, a wonderful sketch, you should put it on the gallery.

This is really good Lew , no need for any words as there are so many interpretations we can put on it it’s telling it’s own story just what a good painting  cartoon etc should do. . Enjoy your new art group Lew I hope you meet some new friends who share you love of art.

A very impressive 15 minutes work Dixie.  I like the sound of your friends garden Tessa, your sketch gives an excellent idea of how it looks.  I've just joined a new art club...new to me anyway.   I took a few pencils and a sketchbook, and drew this... ...it was just going to be a page of random sketches.  Having drawn the chef on the left, I thought I'd add a couple more.  No idea what's going on here.   It's good to get back to an art club again and see what other people are up to.

There seems to be quite a few insects, especially Bees. So, here is a little piece concerning those bees..."B Girls"

Looking really good Gary. I see what you mean about the main vase- doesn’t look quite right. I’m sure you can sort that out! 🤞

Working on the vases and pots today (and more on the flowers). The symmetry of the main vase has been driving me crazy!

Blimey Dixie’s, very impressive for only 15 minutes!  Art group this morning but only three of us turned up and it’s so warm and sunny that we went to the garden of one of the group, which is a wonderful but very steep terraced garden, series of small garden areas, to the rear of her house.  I started a pen sketch but this is as far as I’ve got so far! I felt we almost needed oxygen by the time we reached the top layer.

Having trouble concentrating on the larger paintings at the moment my solution is a quick sketch inspired by a photo I notice on line some time ago. I used a big of rock salt on the light coloured slopes each side of the main rock A6 in size approx fifteen minutes to complete.

As a few of you will know I just love trees and I  certainly love his trees .

I found this from a book of Edward Thomas poems, which I really like. Then a couple of designs which are very familiar. Perhaps not “art” but simple and eye catching. And one which made me chuckle.

Some great choices above.  The more I look at his work, the more varied it becomes.  In those chosen by Paul and Andrew I would happily believe three different artists were involved.  I admire the ability to do this.  I particularly like the first of the 'KETCH' paintings above.

I made the child's face. (What do you say about him? Is he good? Is he cute?) I ran into some problems. of multiple layers of Heifron. Because of not good enough planning. Cause a little roughness inside. And probably his. I hope maybe he will spray on his face from time to time. Then try to make another layer of Efron. Slip his face. And give a better look to the hair. I hope it will work

Thanks Denise. Hoping to finish by the end of the week.

Looks really good Gary, will be interested to see how it develops from here. I like the idea of using flowers that are past their best, too.

Thanks Sandra. Painting wilted flowers was a happy accident. I got them with plans to paint them the next few days and then almost 2 weeks had passed before I could start. It's over 3 weeks now and I daren't touch them in case all the petals just drop in one go 😁
