Autumn Morning in the Back Garden

Autumn Morning in the Back GardenAn original en plein air painting of an enclosed garden in the Cotswolds. I wanted to capture a moment in the morning when the sunlight just filtered through the high leaves of an overhanging walnut tree, but had just begun to enter the garden. Unframed size 24 cm (H) x 18 cm (W) x 1 cm (D) (approx 9. 5 x 7 inches). Additional information: This original artwork was painted on Board using high quality Michael Harding oil paints and finished with Gamvar

painted during my Artist Residency at Cogges

to the great enjoyment of the white ducks

I wanted to capture the incredible view and the way the light of the golden hour hit the peaks beyond the Low Water tarn
