It is interesting to find these old watercolour paintings. They were half imperial in size allowing me to paint big vistas, big skies and get more of a sense of the landscape. This view is very old, as it shows one of the goal posts from when regular football matches were played at Black Mill. It is just a small detail yet it is a significant detail which helps the narrative of the scene. In the foreground a couple walk through the long drying grasses of summer. I wonder if the grasshoppers were 'singing'. The distant Yorkshire Wolds can just be made out, a special area which I have since painted extensively.
Hope you like it.
