Thank you for the wonderful comments . It's one of my favourite spots along the river Ouse near to where I live in East Sussex. In the Summer I spend ages watching the dragonflies swoop and dance over the water. With so little rain this year the river is the lowest I've seen it. The exposed rocks make wonderful ripples and catch the light beautifully! It was a challenge and delight to paint!
