Hardly a revelation, but since mid January I have painted most days. A few things I have noticed, the colour has been ramped up, a desire to get away from green and brown landscapes. Also a lot of detail has been simplified and there is more focus on the design and patterns in a painting rather than following what is actually in the landscape. Back to this painting, the foreground oranges are actually pretty close to the reality, its heather in autumn, mixed with patches of strong green vegetation.
