Top: Painting blackthorn. Working on a 36×36 inch canvas on a windy spring morning. The guy rope is to stop the canvas from blowing over. The next stage was to paint the white blossom.
Middle: Towards the end of the first stage of this scene near Stoke by Nayland. It’s the hottest day of the year so far and the light has an Italian feel to light.
Bottom: Apple blossom in the orchard behind our cottage.
