My concern about returning to the UK to a palette of greys and greens has proven to be unfounded, mostly because its not the direction I want to go in. At the same time I don’t want to go all Fauvist with pure blue trees and purple hills, it appears all to artificial to me and can not convey a particular atmosphere. In short, there is not enough subtlety. Pleased with the way this painting is going.
