Down in the Vale



















Another exploration of atmosphere, sunlight and distance. The nice thing about painting from imagination is that one can avoid painting things one can't paint. Painting looking up a hill is something I generally avoid as it is something that my technique is not well adopted for: I will need to become familiar with the changes in the angle of things as they recede up a hill, if I'm to master the view. I haven't really paid too much attention to that aspect in this piece and I'm not sure I care to bother since it is so easily avoidable in my case.
