Last Sunday, I found myself at the top of ‘our’ hill. After some very Aprilish weather, it was a day of huge sapphire skies with luminous clouds – oh, and beneath the sky the flat patterned fields with the mauve smudge of hills on the horizon behind the Levels.
And there’s the difficulty : the view is panoramic, miles wide from side to side….and from my point of view, holding up a pencil to measure, a mere six inches or so from top to bottom. This is about half the panorama!
I’ve attempted it may times – two years ago, later in the year, I did some ‘extracts’:
-
- Moorlinch fields 1 7″ x 7″
-
- Moorlinch fields 2 7″ x 7″
-
- Moorlinch fields 7″ x 7″
-
- Moorlinch fields 4 7″ x 7″
So I don’t know really know if I can add anything else. But I’ve started, as Magnus Magnusson used to say… but will I finish?
So far I’ve done two small sketches:
They’re about 5″x 7″.
The next step…will be reported…in due course!
Your paintings are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jill!
They’re lovely Anne, seeing these today makes me very homesick…especially the photos from the top of the hill. Regards Jacinta
Of course you knew the view much better than me, being a Moorlinch hill-dweller. Thanks Jacinta
Everything you have done with this scene is beautiful!
Thanks Leslie! Haven’t got much further this week…
Lovely, peaceful, pastoral scene. MM🍀
