14th January

A really mild day for January the rain left off and the sun attempted to come out. The two hours passed pleasantly. The craft group knitted some unusual woolen brooches and the art group worked on various subjects. Jean's painting of a dormouse is coming along nicely.

10th December 2010

Only 10 altogether today, the last art/craft session this year. The five working on the craft table produced in a very short time colourful Christmas baubles. Dave worked on his very bright clematis flowers attached to a piece of timber

12th November

Although it rained the hall was warm and cheerful and two hours were spent very productively by some. The craft made the Christmas decorations while the artists worked on some very good projects Pat worked hard on the portrait despite the many eagle eyes that found imperfections or the lack of them. Dave's Flowers although not completed were amazingly three dimensional. The images on the computer do not do them justice. Jean had finished her painting of even more flowers

8th October

A good compliment from both the art and craft group on this warm sunny day. A productive one Ann finished the London scene. Dave painted a farm building. Mary was finishing the waterfall. The craft group stitched a christmas tree on a card suitable for attaching to an Xmas card

September meeting. Art group only

Eerily quiet today no craft group just a few dedicated artists. Quite productive afternoon apart from Henry who was so pleased with his progress in painting a dramatic seascape until the masking liquid lifted the paper. Ann was also pleased with her London scene showing St.Stephen's Tower (Big Ben)I sketched three drawings, this one is of a young girl.

13th August

Pictures are of the craft groups project bead necklaces and Pat's picture of rolling surf

Very hot afternoon but a lot of work done from the art and craft section. The donkey's are to be given away for charity in aid of donkeys. The cards were produced very quickly today some even made two. Mary finished her painting of a tropical sunset.

11th June

A small craft group today who worked on making various sized donkeys for sending to the donkey sanctuary for sale. There was a full attendance of painters even more than usual. Dave continued working on his brilliant dog portrait. Ann finished the last picture of a barn from her how to paint book. Joan finished the Robin and I did two pictures one of the Queen and Charles and the other a famous Van Goff portrait.
