Warter collection - near Hunger Hill on Bailey Lane.

 

After another trip over to paint at Hutton, I decided to walk George and we traveled across to Warter. I turned off the main road onto the lane leading to Dalton Gates. I knew this would be good dog walking as well as taking me past the now famous trees that David Hockney painted ( Bigger trees at Warter). George had a wonderful walk along the quiet lane, hawthorn hedges at either side now being allowed to grow 3m tall, though still narrow at the base. Pheasants occasionally emerged from the hedges, crossing sleeping verges onto the road. They casually continued passing through the opposite hedge into fields of prepared soil. I drove round to Bailey Lane which drops into Warter. Seeing this view I stopped and quickly set up near Hunger Hill. As I painted, the evening sun dropped lighting up the verges and road. The right hand side hedge acquired a shadow line from the opposite hedge. A field took on plough patterns as a cloud formation added sky
