" Sometimes ,it's really enjoyable to paint with half closed eyes, just to get a spontaneous feel for colour and shapes. I love how it knocks all the detail out of a scene, which in turn frees you up to paint simpler shapes and concentrate on the colour and tonal value more. This scene was painted at the Lyn valley in North Devon, a beautiful spot!"

All music comes best with eyes closed so I'm glad to know painting does as well. Hope all's good with you Steve.
Cheers

Thank you Josh! All is good here! Knuckling down to some studio painting now that the weather is getting colder.
