Trying to capture the sense of scudding clouds casting shadows on a breezy day.<br />
I used 'artistic license to compress the landscape considerably and encompass the ploughed red earth area on the left.<br />

The Hawthorne have been so splendid this year. I managed to escape from the stained glass studio and find some time to paint a tree in a quiet rural cul-de-sac near the canal at All Cannings Village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire. </div>

<br />
On Boxing Day I managed to get the family's permission to escape to paint whilst they went for a long walk on the Malvern Hills.<br />
Wiltshire, where I live, has a dearth of Silver Birch, trees which I often long to paint but there are some around Malvern and on the hills, so at last I got to paint some against a backdrop of colourful rocks in an old quarry.<br />

I'd started the painting above then needing a break, leaving the easel and gear in situ I drove off for 10mins to warm up and recharge my phone battery. When I got back an elderly man and child (about 10yrs old) were standing at my easel, more of their family waiting nearby. "She wants to know how to paint trees." he said, so I gladly gave a 3 minute or so an explanation on 'How to best paint trees', feeling at the same time my example on the easel wasn't quite good enough. However, the girl listened so attentively I sensed that she really wanted to learn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Who knows she may even become a painter one day :)<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GYsk3yaILj4/XHuE3xHjjTI/AAAAAAAAG-U/2KsBW10KZpE7-8922CJss942eUX-Ar6HQCLcBGAs/s1600/143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1232" data-original-width="1600" height="246" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GYsk3yaILj4/XHuE3xHjjTI/AAAAAAAAG-U/2KsBW10KZpE7-8922CJss942eUX-Ar6HQCLcBGAs/s320/143.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I just needed to keep exploring and looking with hungry eyes. I couldn't seem to make myself stop and paint. By the time I'd seen enough, sung in 3 concerts and spent time with friends, I was ready to commit to painting, but ... it was time to return to much cooler UK.<br />

I've probably not been there for 10 years or more and a sudden yearning to do so has been popping insistently into my head for a couple of weeks, since I saw the program, "A great Welsh adventure" with Gryff Rees Jones, recently shown on TV.<br />
It is very hard to find a clear view of the Abbey from this north side (despite it's size). This was painted from the fenced in footpath above the field.across the river. I eventually found a gap in the foliage growing up the wire fence. Several people stopped to talk, and it was a very pleasant 2 hours spent there<br />
<br />
As finished on site .........<br />

The <a href="http://www.bathbachchoir.org.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Bath Bach Choir</b></span></a> preformed their summer concert in Malmesbury Abbey. We did a set of <i>Tchaikovsky Vespers</i> and the <i>Requiem by Gabriel faure</i>, which we'd sung the previous week, jointly with members of <i>Darius Millaud Choir</i> from Aix-en-Provence who had paid us a return visit after our trip to sing with them Aix in 2013.<br />

I did two studies of the harbour at Portscatho near Falmouth. It was a wonderful breezy day with sharp clear light. The sea in so many blues and full of energy in the sunlight.<br />

... and below a view from my friend's veranda on the estuary of the River Fowey, looking across towards a china clay loading factory where huge ships arrive to take the clay. There is a ship docked there, the green prow can just be seen on the RH side past the trees, and dull red above the waterline. The tide was out but also my supply of white paint so I could't render the foreground as well as I'd have liked.<br />

This is a spectacular and beautiful part of the county, wheat farming land, where crop circles often appear, and the hills stretch for some miles. I should paint more of that area. 20" x 10"Oil on gesso board<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Whilst painting this boat, I popped back into their house,( yards away, on the waters edge) for a quick chat and coffee, but when I came out 15mins later the tide had gone out, passed the boat, so missed painting the lovely water reflectins here but I just caught a bit to the RH of the boat. </div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The next morning I had a lift on a small motor dinghy, to the town of Fowey (pronounced 'Foy') across the river. It was a dull, cold drizzly start - very people were about, feeling conspicuous, very overburdened with easels and paint gear I eventually found somewhere quiet to paint, on the quay for a boat tour to Mevagissey, The town perched precariously above a cliff of complex layers of rock strata, with ancient rusting hanging ladders, but beautiful moving water, I settled to paint, probably for a good hour till the tide went out ........... at the time feeling the cold, hungry, lack of sunlight, etc the painting seemed drab and a total disaster - but now it somehow looks OK. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A few yards behind me was a shelter and seats overlooking the view of the river meeting the sea,, a memorial gift from American Forces who'd been there in WWII. Apparently the harbour was full of landing barges, preparing for the great invasion, the 'D' Day Landing. "You could cross the wide river by climbing over the closely packed barges" so the notice read. Then one morning they were suddenly all gone -'D' Day had arrived".</span></span></div>

And I nearly got frostbite doing this one below, early in the New Year when we had freezing tempreatures for a couple of weeks. The trees still need more branches and some stalks of foliage would help - will do that when my fingers warm up, hopefully by midsummer:).<br />

I lost the light and had to quit, so some bright fresh leaves needing to be added hanging in the middle from the RH tree. I particularly liked the tangled root stretching toward me. I ought to get round to adding those leaves still ....<br />

I'd love to do a painted series of it to track light changes through the day. 'Chalk Stack' instead of 'Haystack' (re: Monet :). Perhaps a projecct for the future ( if enlarged you can probalby see some sea-sand grains on the paint surface)<br />
