The 1st SWOP's 'Paint-out' at Fonthill



Well, after a week of dismal, wet and grey weather, what a pleasant surprise to be greeted with bright sunshine this morning.

The weather Gods are on our side!

We met up outside the Beckford Arms. There was myself, Brian and Vivien.

A short walk and we separated to various vantage points to begin painting.

The morning soon became cloudy, with intermittent spots of rain, but nothing too heavy, thank goodness!

Brian managed a nice cloud study and an excellent piece focusing on the leaves and daisies.

Vivien completed a lovely, large canvas of the lake itself.

I managed a small piece of an old tree.

All in all, a very enjoyable few hours and roll on the next meeting!

Here are some photos of the work done:

First up is Brian, showing his juicy knife work!


2nd is Viviens', with a nice, abstract feel to it...



 Lastly, my piece...




Till the next time..... Jim
