The foreground to this painting is supposed to be an area of brown and pink tall grasses. I knew before I started I had no interest in replicating what was there. How I was going to re-imagine this space I didn’t know but it started off going in the direction of John Nash’s WW1 war paintings with mud and bare trees, I think I have steered away from that. I like the left foreground and now its the mid to right foreground that needs some more work.
Into the landscape. Day 7
