Summer Programme 2017 |
Updated 21st June 2017 |
25th April Bluebell woods at Greys Court Clive 10am bring your NT Card and car sticker. Park close to the ticket booth and wait for everyone to gather. We will try to obtain permission for a short cut to the wood rather than walking the long way around. Loo and refreshments in the grounds. Non NT members may need to pay. Pastels could be good.
2nd May Goring Heath Almshouses, RG8 7RS Helen Those who have been before will remember some pretty red brick Queen Anne buildings, with a beautiful little chapel and bell tower in the centre. There is an avenue of trees as you approach and behind the almshouses an area with gardens, blossom trees (still in blossom, I hope) and allotments with sheds and greenhouses. There is a loo which we may use.

Car park on the right before the bridge by the open swimming pool.Views of the bridge and church from either side of the bridge.

Edward. Neo-Tudor mansion & gardens, incl. avenue of Wellingtonias. Not generally open to the public. Loos. Directions to follow by email.
23 May Henley shops windows / reflections etc. Clive
Something like this with reflections, interiors, signs, possibly impressionistic - a confusion of elements. Maybe something you might work on again in the studio.
30 May Garden at Hamilton House. This is at Clive's house in Middle Assendon while the weather is fair. Things to paint include flower beds, pondscapes, horses in field or a mix of all three. You could even choose a close up detailed subject or invent shortcuts to represent foliage and flowers.
