February 2022 (5)

 I made a sort of new year resolution to learn to paint "en plein air"  this year.  I have always hated it; the discomfort, too hot or too cold, not having all my materials to hand, no toilets nearby, people looking at me struggling, but I thought I would try to paint something every month.  I fell by the wayside immediately, it was so wet and cold in January that I decided I would paint the view from my shed window.  I have just finished it, and suffice to say I think I will give up the idea as I have started nothing in February.  Instead I have decided to finish all the half finished paintings I have patiently waiting for me to return to them. Perhaps I may return to the idea when they are complete?????  Until I decide here it is, the view from my shed, "Looking towards High Vinnalls from Upper Upton".  Oil on canvas board, roughly A4
