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.
Parrot Tulips with studies of the Wetterhorn in the studio
Painted in my studio these tulips were a beautiful array of colours and I enjoyed the composition with my mountain landscapes that were resting on the dresser.
This painting will be exhibiting with the Portland Gallery from the 7th to the 18th December at their Winter Exhibition. Please contact sophie@portlandgallery.com for more information
