Summer Fields

51cm (W) x 37cm (H) x 0.1cm (D)

Watercolour on Paper

The last time we headed down south the farm fields were still green from the residual spring rains but this time most were dry and golden, which always makes for a beautiful painting of contrasts. In this painting I wanted to pair back and simplify, using minimal strokes and allow the watercolour to settle in it's own places where I could then introduce some textural marks in the foreground for interest. I have to say I'm pleased with the result.
