My joke about the forest, on the left, looking like a slice of cake got me thinking. If that’s the way I see it then that’s the way I should paint it. I like the flatness of the shape and the big uniform dark green triangle and how it sits in the painting. Again, the colours are pretty true to the reality of the scene. Not that I should stick to it, but these elements are what attracts me to certain scenes in the landscape.
