I am sure Cezanne would have loved it here. He would just have to get the bus to Thropton and literally have a lifetime of subject matter within walking distance. New painting. The initial intention is to stick a bit closer to the observed colour and see what develops. I think the previous painting took so long because I was a bit more free roaming, though there is no harm in that. Liking the sky already, trees are looming.
