I wanted to try out some large canvases, 24 inch square, and paint in a different way to reflect my need to be careful after my stroke. So here are two pictures, done early in July, on subsequent days. Rather than use my pochade box I have reverted to my French easel, setting up so as to stand slightly askew and not looking directly at the scene. This enabled less head movement which, I think is perhaps better for me. The umbrals were particularly magnificent. Meadow cranesbill, red clover and the odd buttercup could be seen and, among them, in the hawthorn hedges wild pink variations of the white Yorkshire rose peeped out.
Looking north above the hidden village of Warter.
The second day I returned but had to sit in the car as rain fell enthusiastically as dark clouds raced past. Eventually the rain stopped and I set up to paint, this time from the other side of the village. I realised by doing this, that the disappearing road in the distance was the one I had painted from the day before. The previous picture also showing this road. I would like to think that these two pictures should live together and they are connected.
Oil on canvas, 24x24 inch deep edge canvas, please email me for details.
Both SOLD
