You’ve captured those bright yellow crops on a sunny day perfectly.

Thanks everyone - glad you liked the tree Paul. The fields at the moment are alight with the rape. My husband snapped this yesterday while out on a bike ride.

Rape fields are such a beautiful colour, but it gives my sister asthma! Pity about the name too, but glad you have celebrated it.

Fabulous colours.

Beautifully rendered Marjorie. I’m drawn to the dazzling colour of these fields but repelled by the overwhelming odour. This image immediately brought to mind the Ukrainian flag

Posted by Martin S Taylor on Tue 23 May 07:50:01

Thanks for the nice comments everyone - I felt happy painting it - must be the yellow! Martin, I agree about the smell but the Ukrainian flag is a lovely thought.
