PS Lucy and I had a great day up there in the summer, and I would love to do more round there. It is the road up to Ditchling Beacon.

Lovely dramatic work Shirley, those strongly painted trees push the fields well back.

Shirley this is terrific. Love all the mixes of greens and the loose and fluid way you have painted the scene.
