That’s quite a feast on the table there Sylvia, nice sketch.  Glad your using your studio room Gillan , good to see your sketch it nice charcoal one too. Nice one Alan. Is that you in the canoe?. What a nice way to have a holiday Katy , nice sketch too. Inwa# using up the leftover paint this afternoon, wanted to do a bit of dry brush to look like old timber here’s the result . I have  got to fit a tractor in somewhere so that Sylvia doesn’t miss out on any , I can hear the groan now not another  tracky

Love the wetland scene Paul, and The Old Beacon Gillian. I wonder why it was only in service for such a short time? Mine is an oil pastel sketch at art group today, title should be ‘Why did I Jump into the Forbidden Field and Eat all the Grass’ or ‘Butter Wouldn’t Melt’ 😊 .

Lovely pony Katy! Apparently a new. Lighthouse was built on a neighbouring island which made the Beacon unnecessary and therefore redundant!

A bit of a frustrating day….not too happy .  Opened my Moleskine sketch book and tried to portray my dog walk colours as simply as possible .

Nice beacon sketch Gillian and I like your horse Katy. Sorry you have had a frustrating time Sylvia , your colour sketch look good. A basic drawing for a painting I have just started today  , nostalgia again the old coal truck in the street I love watching the coal man tipping the coal into the coal hole as we called it. Hard work , probably not allowed to lift such big heavy sacks these day

Yay I know it’s almost like the other one.  But it is my view and sitting here with my white wine it trips off the brush.
