Good sailing barge and gulls Dixie. If the actual painting shows it leaning over, I expect your camera or computer has decided to put it right for you! Nice red phone box and old lamp Christopher. It surprises me how many of these old red boxes are still around and have a working phone in them. We have a couple round here with books in as a mini library.
Here’s one of my daughter’s cat Percy, he’s very sweet but I’ve made him look a bit cross!
Hi Tessa, Sorry I have not come in much this last week.  I am a scarce person.  I do pop in to see what you are all doing.  Great works everyone.  I just rushed off my feet at the moment.  I just thought I will let you know that I enjoy the group very much.  I call this Ode to Autumn

Hi Sandi it doesn’t matter how scarce you are! This is a lovely,  cheerful and unusual painting, good to wake up to on a Monday morning.
My offering today is inspired by one of  the poems in Michaels thread  the one about producing and reducing. Love the chair Sandi.
More lovely sketches - and a beautiful bright chair.  I particularly like your heron, Dixie.
That Herons a smasher Dixie  and the chair is wonderful .  Please keep the heron from my fish...he likes them. These are a few of the chucks from across the road very free range.

Good to see the sketches today, the Heron is very good, and I like the chair too. Here is my offering today, not sure if its finished or if I need to do anything else.
Hi friends, Tessa, I love your cat and the way you have drawn him.  Dixie your heron is great.  Are you inspired by Chinese art?  Love those chickens.  Alan loves the narrative on your farm.  Sorry, maybe a bit blurred.  I suffer with action tremor, so it is really hard for me to take a perfect pic.
Good reduced heron Dixie, I think it fits Michael's words well. Nice free range chucks Sylvia and Alan your character cottage looks good to me, capturing the period. Sandi your delicate flowers are lovely, actually I think the slightly blurred effect softens them rather nicely. Had to take my car for MOT tandem service today so a lot of walking and sitting around waiting for it. This is from M & S coffee shop in Cheltenham where I drew an hour away, paint added at home.

Tessa those really look great.This is just a silly scribble due to insomnia.
Not silly at all Sandi, looks like a picture of hope to me, light in the darkness. I’ve just started reading The Addictive Sketcher by Adebanji Aladi and here’s a quote for the daily sketchers, and anyone just thinking about it- “Daily practice is powerful. If ....you decide to sketch just one thing from life every day for at least fifteen minutes, you will be shocked at the progress you would make in just a month.”
