I posted a version of this painting in early January. At the time someone commented on the bottom portion of the painting; that it needed reducing. I had to agree with this useful suggestion and decide to extend and expand the narrative of the passing places down the canvas.
In the end I reworked two thirds of it, making it look like a collection of snapshots along this single track lane close to where I live – a record of a journey perhaps. The passing places, emblematic of how we have to compromise and defer on our journey through life – well, most of us anyway.
I certainly like the idea behind this painting and how the greys characterise the place and the vibrancy generated by this colour against the oranges and yellows in the sky and fields.

It’s looking good, Graham. Now it’s finished there’s definitely a hint of David Hockney’s photo montage about it.

Thanks Margaret. I recall in the eighties a programme he made about them and I was quite taken by the concept – though Hockney was always the great salesman.
Maybe some subliminal influence

I think your adjustments really made a difference. Now there is a balance of all parts and the eye moves evenly and easily among them. The palette is lovely as well.

Thanks Ursula. It’s certainly moved in the right direction, though whether it’s arrived yet is another question.
