Hi all , I have spent a bit of time going through some of my photos  , like most people I have to many . The problem with digital cameras is you tent to multi clip and end up with lots of the same shot. These two were taken on the bridleway at Pulpit Hill a National Trust countryside property where I worked as a volunteer ranger until recently . They were used on the NT web with my permission and since have appeared on several sites , some people laying claim to having taken the.  One appeared on Getty image and required a licence to use it . I have put them on the forum for any of the site user to use them if they wish as a resource for a painting.  It would be interesting to see them painted and  see how they are interpreted particularly in different mediums.  Enjoy and have fun painting one of them .

This was a watercolour I did on site a few years back , it’s a bit of the bridleway before you get to the area in the photos . I was lovely clear day , the only problem was the horse flies , they hurt like hell when they bite. .

That's very generous of you to share your excellent photograph (I like your painting, too!).  Come on, everyone - have a go at it.  My next four or five paintings are already planned for, but I shall certainly seek this out again and have a go at it when I can.

Beautiful photos, Dixie, and very kind of you. I’ve downloaded the fungi photos, I may be able to Abstract those! I’ll do my best to remember who the photo references belong to.
