Very nicely done, Derek. Lovely composition, and a subject that certainly piques one's interest.

Thank you Seok. The place is always in the news here as it is very moniant and important and owned by her Majesty. It is utterly gorgeous and there is always womewhere we haven't been.

I should have commented on this sooner Derek because It always catches my eye. Everyone has said it tho' - super composition, very imaginative and I love those colours.

You surely are going for it Derek. I can feel freedom for all concerned in this painting but also in the execution of the work.<br />A beautiful semi abstract. Love it.

45 x 40cm on board. Based on an idea from Joan Blackburn's excellent book Exploring the Abstract. Then found some old ref photos and ideas and got the basis of the composition.Trying to show the various activities in our local New Forest with runners, walkers, huntsmen plus digging for oil and an organisation that can't coordinate them but would like to. Going bigger I used a roller for large areas.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
