Autumn woods

This woodland is a place that I have drawn and painted over many years, largely because the walk to it and the view seem to encapsulate the seasons for me. The falling chestnuts on the drive way up to Dartington Hall and sounds of cock pheasants stating their territory. The winter skylines of leafless trees on frosty mornings, the crunch of frozen grasses under foot. As Spring emerges, the wild garlic bursts up filling the air with its scent.The sound of a drumming woodpecker making its presence known, circling buzzards calling out. Following a shower, the vibrant greens of new vegetation full of promise for the year ahead are such a joy. The summer  meadows of wild flowers and buzzing with insects, dancing butterflies and swifts screeching through azure skies.

This painting is on acrylic on paper, painted from the little study that I have shown here. The study as ever is mixed media and was made with site specific pigments and found tools whilst I sat on a bench facing this wood.
