Hot? Cold? Windy? Wet? We tackled the weather

We didn't get a very enthusiastic participation from members but also know that some are ill or unable to put brush to paper at these tiresome times.

So here are the interpretations that we received.


Maureen starts us off with 'a break in the storm' where all dash out to enjoy the freshness of damp air.

Watercolour.





Ann Puren gives us the glorious glow of a sunset over the sea. 

End of a warm day?









Windy, breezy? Either way you can feel the wind in Maugie's painting on a fine sunny day.










Marcelle has brought out some of the disappointment of this year's Tour de France which was marred not only by rain, but by cold weather.

Oils.














John's witty interpretation of a storm in a teacup.











Fiona sticks with sunny and hot! She tried to bring this feeling out through colored pencils.








Hold on to your hats: the wind is howling and the rain is coming.

Ann Puren gets us running indoors to shelter.







More climatic misery (though you'll not need to water the gardens) from Maureen who has got a landscape almost obliterated by the heavy rain.


Watercolour







But there is pleasure in the rain if you are dry: John gives us a multimedia interpretation of rain.










And we'll end this blog by a painting by a couple of rather more famous painters.



JMW Turner's 'Storm'.





And for something a bit brighter and warmer - Gauguin's Tahitian landscape
