A Few Hours At Church.

What a lovely day it has been weatherwise. The sun shone brightly through the mollicroft windows. Last night I had got to bed at a decent hour, so I was well rested.

My first thought after a morning 'cuppa' was a walk in the sunshine with Sadie the German Shepherd. After the recent cold spell it felt surprisingly mild. It was on the way back that I saw this view of the church.

Something has been cut back here because I cannot recall seeing the church from this angle before. It was the wall though that took my attention.

After our walk I collected my art stuff and hurried back to the church. On a nice day like this it was perfect for painting in the open air.

After about three hours I was happy with what I had achieved. Of course I wanted to share this painting with you. Hope you like it.

  5. Sweet! I'm slightly jealous that you can just go and act on your art ideas, but I think you execute them better than I would anyway.

  8. I love old churches and you captured it well, love the colors. I've always wanted to visit the UK and see the countryside. Ahhhh, just a dream I guess but I can still look at your paintings.
