Where the poppies are

One of the paintings inspired by my recent sketch. This is a wonderful area for poppies with fields and fields of them swathing the landscape with their scarlet glow.

Cold and wet

Just as I was ready to go out painting this morning, the Heavens opened. Not good news when using watercolour ! Took the car to the tiny hamlet of Wyck Rissington and pulled into the side of the road to paint this small "Edge of the field"

 

At least I could have the car heater on. We have had no heating at home for the past month. Hopefully a new boiler is being installed tomorrow...
