I took an excursion into oil painting recently which has led me to work on a few canvasses of real local places. The one above is probably finished except for a little titivating to give it some extra touches. The idea is not so much as to record the scene exactly but to catch a mood and reflect on it.
Other than perhaps taking the scene and creating a picture that can be placed on a wall and somebody remark that they know exactly where it is I want to pos the question - where is it? Hopefully people will find out for themselves and maybe see what I saw.
The paddock was on Harty and in the distance you can see the cut of the Swale and the hills beyond Faversham to Whitstable. It was peaceful with the suggestion of a storm gathering.
I liked it.
