I hope Tom Keating would approve, though I am not up there with his beloved Titian and Constable, he can see I am trying. The idea was to spend several hours knocking this painting around in an attempt to unify the picture space and capture the textures of the foliage. There is still some way to go but I can see some areas of subtlety coming through that I like. The actual scene is quite magical and other worldly, this is what I am aiming for.
