latest sketches

 Visits to the Royal Hotel in Southend, a yoga retreat near Oxford and last night in a pub in Leigh.

The Hamlet

We went back to the Hamlet last night.  It is warm and popular, providing us with plenty to draw, but you really have to be quick as people come and go. Just so nice to get out together again.  

it has been a long time

 Finally went out sketching yesterday evening.  Last year was either too hot, too wet, too windy and even though this year it is too cold at the moment,  we decided to try a new pub.   Sadly the others couldn't make it but Paul Alcock and I really enjoyed sketching there.  I think quite by accident we chose an evening that was pretty busy, not sure that is the norm.  It was so nice to get out again, really need to settle down and get painting and sketching again!!!

Finally painting again!

 I stopped painting in December to do some other projects and it has taken until now to get going again.    I had been given a plant and some tulips so that started me off,  I have a couple of pewter trays and really like painting the reflections.

Yet another on line exhibition with the Venezuelan water colour association.

                                      Published on instagram, a christmas themed exhibition.

Painted for an on line exhibition entitled, The Market.

 The Venezuelan water colour association have held an on line exhibition to mark International Water Colour Day on the 23rd November.  So, this is my interpretation of The Market.
