pastels and other stuff

I love seeing Cate’s pastel box – it’s art in itself – and her pictures are pretty good too

Dawn was also painting the day lily, in acrylic

We had a morning of painting outside – these are two of the successes. I personally found it quite frustrating as I was using acrylic on a small canvas and as it was drying so quickly, I could not get a good result. In fact, in a fit of frustration, I threw it across the courtyard which amused everyone.

Jackie was painting a card for a friend in water colour

Jane was experimenting and produced this lovely study in water colour

Patricia did another acrylic on paper

Maria was sculpting again – with beads

I am struggling with this painting in oils of our house. It’s good to take photographs because it immediately points out the problems with tone and perspective. I need to change the door !
