Long grass

longgrass
When I walk back after leaving Xavier at nursery, I walk though the band of trees fringing the woodland park (as can be seen below in yesterday’s watercolour) and then into open grassland, with views for miles around. This is the time I like it best, as the grass is allowed to grow long which allows the skylarks to nest and wildflowers to grow in profusion.

The colors in your washes are wonderful; that you can take such a simple scene and paint it so interestingly, amazes me...

Thanks Tami. I've expanded my plein aire set which make things a bit easier(less mixing needed)
