A Lovely Commission

25/1/2015

This week I have mostly been painting fields...
Those of you who know, patchwork fields are my favourite subject, so I was delighted to be approached by a very nice chap who requested a painting which amalgamated his favourite walks. The finished picture was going to be a present for his friends who had often accompanied him on walks through Wiltshire and the Peak District.
We discussed via email what would be good to include and came up with a list:
The Avebury standing stones
A chalk horse
A pub
Green rolling fields
A bird of prey (one of his friends is a birdwatcher)
The top of Kinder Scout in the Peak District
A sign post pointing out the Ridgeway, a walking route through Wiltshire
A bluebell wood

Due to artistic licence all these things could easily fit together in one scene! 

I emailed off the outline sketch above and was given the go ahead to make the painting - lovely!
