Some really good sketches painting and models on show. Pity about  the rugby Alan , but the everything is affected. Today was sketch yesterday, I have a south facing garden and one corner is particularly warm, bluebells are already out and a large bee was doing its thing.

I like the bowls pavilion very much Gary, and Alan your rugby crew are excellent: we’ve missed sport so much and just as it was all building up to a great last few games. Nice description of your sunny garden Dixie, and good to see the bees around. We have patch of red tulips which I thought I’d have a go at in pencil and watercolour. Think it’s turned into a bit of a mess, though it was supposed to be abstract!

I really like those tulips Tessa. My daughter would be impressed as she's a tulip fan. No idea why but hey...

More like a 5min  sketch this morning - Fritillaria Meleagris, and Anemones Pulstilla and Blanda in full  flower - a simple 4B pencil sketch doesn't do them justice - the colours are glorious.

A friend received a bunch of flowers today, and posted them on he Facebook page, Well it was rude not to paint.

Some lovely garden views and bunch of flowers Alan. I walked this morning through Greystones Nature reserve here in Bourton-on-the-Water and passed this Iron Age replica roundhouse. Obviously the reserve shop etc are closed at present but you can still walk through the fields which border on an area of fishing lakes, all very peaceful.

Nice work Michael, Alan and Tessa. Simple Watercolour sketch from me today, from a photo I took a year or so ago added the autumn leaf for contrast. The photo was used as a study to tach new volunteer ranger.

Nice work by everyone. I was going to post my first every attempt at a water colour sketch of some tulips...then I saw Dixie's sketch. That blew me out of the water. Cracking work Dixie.

Go on Gary, jump right in and post your watercolour! This is one for Dixie as I know you do woodland stuff, I came across these recently chopped tree stumps on my walk around our local nature reserve yesterday, did the sketch while perching on one, and added some watercolour today.
