Landscape Nr Sawrey
Landscape Nr Sawrey (Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cms)
Friends tell me my posts have been sounding very gloomy and in retrospect, I guess they're right. I apologise, even though there are really quite good reasons for their being so. What will make them change without an effort of will on my part, will be an increase in sunshine and an acceleration in the rate of completed work.
Sunshine is outwith my control, of course, but the last couple of days have been quite mild and sunny, so there's hope there. But what I really can have some effect on is the work. Back at the Club, I pressed on with this landscape and finished it. I had some trouble with the forest in the background and opted for a slightly stylised approach which interests me as a possible future avenue of enquiry.

Despite heavy rain and high winds today on Long Island, the leftover snow is melting, the days are noticeably longer, and temperatures are rising. Spring is just a few weeks away, and your bright and cheerful landscape makes it seem all the closer.
