June 10: Castle Village gardens, near Berkhamsted Golf Club..

I been a bit ambitious at the last 2 summer drawing evenings - taking my acrylics. Both were STUNNING locations. The weather gods were smiling at the first one but not at this week's, so I finished the painting at home. Kinda cheating? Looking forward to next week's! 

'Last light of the day', arrived a bit late so it needed a bit more studio time to finish, an enjoyable evening, thanks BAS, and David for organising, Oil Andy Lee

July 8: Sunnyside Allotments, Berkhamsted 

I got a bit wet walking through Sunnyside so went back home to do this little sketch from a photo. Not quite the "sunny side" of Berkhamsted after all, but very relaxing thanks to the accompanying glass of wine. 

Well Sunnyside Allotments should be renamed Soggyside Allotments  it was a rather damp evening . . . again! but we enjoyed the get together anyway. Thanks for arranging again David
