Cold day in early December, we had had snow recently and today it was grey with glimpses of the sun being very welcome. This is a view looking towards St. Mary’s Church, in South Dalton as viewed from a little road to the south of the village. This is an original oil on canvas board, plein air painting and will be available soon. The tall dried grasses make the foreground interesting, late hanging leaves on an adjacent oak seem illuminated against a dark trunk. All is quiet, down the road a pair of pheasants silently emerge from the vegetation before disappearing again. The infamous alligator seems to have disappeared, or is trying to hibernate somewhere. A skein of geese, high in the sky passes over. George stayed warm in the car, after visiting the veterinary practice and I pondered. He is an old dog now and will need to be carefully monitored, he is much loved and he will want for nothing. It begins to rain and I need to close the pochard box lid. As I use water based oils I need to stop when it rains as the colours get diluted and run into each other.
