I decided to paint this scene on A3 canvas it a scene that I have done small scale before.  I posted the photograph some  time ago and offered it up for painting some members did do a superb job of it . The photo is one I took about eight years or more ago , when I was working in the woodlands as a Ranger for the National Trust at Pulpit Hill in Buckinghamshire.  The Trust used it on the home page of Hughenden Manor , within a few day they had many enquiries as to where the location was and requests to copy the photo.  I haven’t done this particular piece so large or on loose canvas , just hope it works out , I don’t want it as detailed as I normally do. Hope you don’t mind my sharing the progress with you. The photo, initial sketch and then base colours.

So do I Marjorie, just hoping I don’t make a mess of it.  Bit more base colours and marking out the main features.

Be careful where you put your mug of tea Paul - I speak from painful experience! There are some lovely colours in that photo's, it's a super scene.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Of course we don't mind you sharing your progress!  Far from it.  Best of luck with it, you've taken on quite a challenge, but then if we don't do that now and then, we stay stuck in sleepy hollow!

Thank you all for your comments, I’m just hoping I don’t fall flat on my face { I’m ugly enough as it is}.
