We were delighted to see the stalwarts of FHAS come up with some inspired work - but sad so many of you other members didn't forward your efforts.
John didn't look too far at all as we all know his adorable dog is always around.
Himself? This is an unusual title and such title often refers to an artist's own self portrait.
We are not quite sure whether 'Himself ' in this case is actually a self portrait - or not - the nose does seem a little to large from what we remember! Just joking, John. Love the earring!
Ann Zwets ventured outside after the rain and came back in to capture the drops on a leaf in graphite. She's obviously practicing for the next drawing competition! Rain drops are a fascinating subject and, if you fancy trying the effect, get a spray bottle and fill it with water and spray over a leaf until you have a good image to copy. Take a snap and work from life and the photograph.
Great stuff Ann!
Next week's theme is going to be shapes around you.
That means taking a bit of something - not the whole - and finding the shapes so that they, not the objects, become the subject matter.
I'll drop in a couple of photos in the next post to give you an idea of the subject matter.
Keep soaping, keep safe!

Other willing subjects in the Strickland household were also captured. Love the back views and the pink ears. Excellent.
Don't you FHAS artists have cats, dogs, mice, birds?

Ann shows you that you don't have to go far for inspiration.
Fiona got into seed heads and particularly these curly ones with edible white fluffy balls. Amazing shapes! And despite the suggestion for different colours, the colours are real. See example in middle.
