Painting 5 was part of an exercise suggested by the art club. They invited a watercolour artist Paul Simmons to show us how to paint figures with movement but in a quick style. On Tuesday we were asked to produce our own ideas and paint them during the session.

I chose a picture of England rugby players against Wales in last Saturdays match.

Painting 6 came from a photo I took on Monday when visiting my Mother in Weybridge. The Oatlands Park Hotel is very close to where she lives and I have always like the Italianate Tower. Funnily as a link to the previous picture the Welsh rugby team use the hotel as their base when they come to Twickenham.
