Some of our members have been working while lockdown has cramped all other activities.
We hope you fellow artists feel inspired. When you have any work, do forward it to us for inclusion.
Here, Nicky Ross has been working on eucalyptus leaves she found on her early morning walk in Clovelly Golf Club. Nicky shows that even small items have a place in a drawing. What was your medium, Nicky? Is it in dry or oil pastel?
Marcelle has been working on a number of different themes.
We recognise the alley of oaks at Ohio Farm. Always an inspiration.
Those florals are gorgeous. Marcelle works in oils - even when heading for a paint out destination.
Send your work to us either at noninichols@gmail.com or zwets@mweb.co.za
AND LASTLY... TWO TIPS
You're probably unable to get any news art supplies for the moment but here are a couple of recycling ideas.
1. Use the backside of your less-superb paintings for more painting or drawing practice
2. Use kitchen towel to dry off your brushes or reduce brush load? Don't throw them out after use. Dry them and use them again. (That's a Hazel Soan tip!).

Which brings us to the next CHALLENGE.
We are suggesting a ROUND work of art (take a dinner plate and draw a circle and work
within that!) and if you are stumped for a theme, then the suggestion is GLASS.
...A glass, a twig in a glass, a glass of water, a glass of painting water, a vase, your reflection
in a mirror...
You'll have plenty of ideas and if you don’t want to be challenged by glass, invent your own theme.
Deadline for receiving works is 15 June.Send your work to us either at noninichols@gmail.com or zwets@mweb.co.za
