Maybe a very distant school, one based in Northumberland. Despite that, I think this is my most successful landscape to date. I like the way the landscape has been fragmented, yet at the same time it can be read as a landscape in terms of light, undulating planes and space.
It seems my landscapes are centred on man and how he has changed the landscape. Up to now that has only meant the land. The introduction of the town is a new factor. And an interesting one.
There will be a brief interlude of a week when I am on holiday and this painting is now finished.
