I posted the first version of this a little while ago and it has since sat in my studio in a tray frame I made for it, but I became aware that the foreground looked a bit timid and tentative and so I decided something had to change.
Out came the brushes and I started scumbling, getting rid of the prissy field break in the lower part and giving the foreground texture. I am happier with this version and having just had an invite to join a mixed exhibition in December ( Covid permitting) along with a solo show at my framers, I have now got a small collection of these stylised landscapes to show.
This, and other landscapes are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com

A beautiful painting, Graham. Well done on your exhibition. Is that light at the end of the tunnel ?

Thanks Margaret. The tunnel could still collapse if they close all shops on Merseyside – though that would be drastic coming up to Christmas.
