HOUSE BETWEEN THE POPLARS

The house between the  'Poplar Trees'    The house between the 'Poplar Trees'. This small house is dwarfed by these trees, painted from the field space between them. There are trees behind me as well so it is well protected from the wind, although nothing but grass is growing there now. Maybe they had crops at one time but not in the last 10 years.

And some Bach ....

'unfinished' sketches - a'Becketts Vinyard 
Not many villages  in the UK can boast of a local vinyard. This one it about 10 years old, and produces some fine wines.

Roundway from Urchfont hill 2, originally uploaded by Andrew Taylor1.

 View from the very edge of Salisbury Plain over towards Devizes which lies at the base of the far hill. Two deer walked quiet close to me (within 50 yds) before seeing me, freezing still for a moment and staring as if in disbelief, then bounding off in a flash.

WESTBURY from WHITE HORSE HILL

Westbury from White Horse Hill

WESTBURY TOWARDS BRADFORD, From White Horse Hill. Spent longer than usual on this this morning. Just over 2 hours, Initially there were just those distant clouds. More clouds rolled in and covered most of the sky - shadows kept changing dramatically over the landscape.
I added the near clouds at the end The main quality of the view was the gradating sky so I thought that's a mistake, but now it seems to work and gives a 3D effect, leading one into the painting.
