On Saturday twelve members visited Chalk Church and enjoyed drawing and painting in perfect weather. It was sunny but not too hot, being pleasantly warm with a gentle breeze. The Monet bridge and pond area looked very bare last year but is now planted with wild flowers such as red, white and pink poppies and yellow and blue flowers too. In the pond we saw a newt and shrimpy things swimming with their little legs, dragonflies flew above whilst water boatmen and beetles scurried on the water’s surface.

We all enjoyed the day as we sketched and painted and enjoyed a good natter. Thank you for the £36 for the church fund.

Some members drew and painted the view in front of them and others created pictures to their own theme.

Look out for next month’s newsletter which will be published on Thursday 1st August.

We will be painting in the gardens of Rochester Cathedral on Saturday 24th August. Please note there will be 5 Saturdays in August but we always meet on the 4th one, which is on the bank holiday weekend this year. Please check the date to see if you’re free as Tracy will be asking for names to attend the day.

The next session at the hall will be on Wednesday 14th August from 7-9pm.
