Painted on a balmy summers evening as we drove through the countryside I had to stop when I saw this typical English scene in contre-jour light. As we were packing away a tiny little frog hopped into Ales hand.
The wind nearly blew my easel over a few times whilst I painted this! I enjoy capturing the subtle atmospheric colours of the English beaches in grey weather.
Painted during the hot summer months near home, the cows were gathering around a stream in the centre of the valley, clambering in and out to cross. The meadow was covered in a carpet of buttercups.
