Returning from Hungerford last Monday bank holiday, there were great cumulus clouds slowly billowing above. Recognizing a place where I'd painted before at Everleigh, I stopped and did these two.
Probably too much grass and not enough cloud, I need to practice more

Plein Air Painting days at Great Chalfield
I am planning a series of plein air paintng days with and aim to help people who would like to try painting directly in the landscape.
It is a very challenging way of working, out in the elements, but the results can be so rewarding bringing fresh surprises and paintings with a sense of fresh vigour, studies of landscape which one could hardly dream up in the studio. The resulting work also is great material for developing larger paintings in the studio.
At the moment the plan is to organize the days to record the changing seasons in the outlying farm estate surrounding the National trust property at Great Chalfield. Hopefully this may increase to monthly painting days (dates should soon be set), taking in other locations as well.

Evening Sky over Great Cheverell and Littleton panell
Both of these were painted very speedily on the same evening.
After the first drama I turned 90deg to my right to do the second as light faded
