Began two more pictures of Minster – one view from beside the Minster Cafe, the other from Potwell Dyke. In the first view, I wanted to use the cafe furniture with red parasols in the foreground – looking for a colour inversion effect from the strong reds and the washed out green-blue of the sky. Still feel the effect is not yet strong enough. The Potwell Dyke view appealed because it was looking at the Minster through a gap in the hedge, with a piece of fencing holding back a brightly lit piece of field in the middle ground. Both paintings were meant to be painted a bit looser with details in places added later – blocks of colour indicating main areas. I didn’t think I had gone far enough in this – still being too tentative. Put to one side to consider later with fresh eye.

They straddle our farmland, linking infinitely long looped ‘staves’ carrying electric current.Ooh - its me on the inside cover of this year's @OSNotts brochure!Delighted to have this little group of paintings as part of the @dovecotgallery popup exhibition 'The Low Drift' - many thanks to Hilary and Mike for inviting me.Second of my trio of pieces for upcoming ‘The Art of the Violin’ exhibition at Gallery 6 Newark …Really delighted to be part of this rather special upcoming exhibition at Gallery 6 in Newark …Search Susan’s blog
