'Deer' by Brigitte Holland, Sandbach u3a
I was inspired to paint this by a recent visit to Dunham Massey National Trust property where you can see many young deer happily grazing in the park.

'Amaze' by Norma Nichol, Bexley u3a
Zentangle is a form of “doodling”, creating images using structured patterns called “tangles”. It’s very relaxing ! This pictures uses just one tangle called “Amaze” .

"Who’s that looking at me looking at you?” by Lesley Wiltshire, Gloucester u3a
These cows became very interested in my husband and me during last summer’s “lockdown walks”, which took us past them very often!

'Zentangle' by Sue Gibson, Whitwick & District u3a
I have always loved black and white line drawing but learnt this form called zentangle on a cruise! I adore seahorses and applied this method of ‘doodling’ to a seahorse!

'Gentle Giants' by Sue Gibson, Whitwick & District u3a
I was inspired by these gentle giants by a visit to South Africa.

'Hide and then Pounce' by Liz Octigan, Stone Staffordshire u3a
This cat was painted for a friend. I like the way cats hide and then pounce and hope this picture conveys such an image. It is in acrylic paint on a textured surface.

'Orangutan' by Lindsey Bond, Cardiff u3a
This is a pastel sketch of a baby orangutan.

'Bull elephant' by Elizabeth Jackson, High Lane u3a
A lone bull elephant seen on safari in Kenya painted in watercolours. I tried to capture its solitary state.

'Two Elephants' by Liisa Brown, Hartley Wintney u3a
I used my earlier drawing of two elephants as a background, and then added the window frame and surrounding flowers by using a digital tool.

'Kiera' by Anona Hermes, Doncaster u3a
My painting of Kiera, who belongs to our daughter, was inspired by the loss of her Labrador Charlie, who sadly passed away this year. I wanted to gift a painting of Kiera to our daughter to support her well being.

'Bright eyed and bushy tail' by Mary Moss, Meopham u3a
Bright eyed and bushy tail! Hare today......

'Daisy' by Elaine Cross, Thatcham, Berkshire u3a
This is a pastel portrait on velour paper of my Parson Russell Terrier called Daisy.

'Rufus' by Sandra Foster, Belfast u3a
Rufus belongs to a friend of mine, and I was asked to paint him. I think he is rather handsome, but I he has a look which is saying 'I want to be alone'.

'Two little kittens' by Pamela Wakefield, Marple & District u3a
Oil on canvas, I painted this for a friend of mine.

'Brazil' by Valerie Salverson, Camberley u3a
We were supposed to be in Brazil right now, enjoying the wildlife of the OSA Peninsula. Obviously we had to cancel our trip so painting this beautiful animal reminds me of what we are missing.
