Plein air painting 127b 

Following on from the last post set in Salisbury (09/05/24), this small study was done later during that afternoon. It is the view directly behind me from 'town path' of more open fields, populated with sheep. Painted in about an hour at 8 x 7", oil on mounting board.

Sheep in a field in the Devon countryside

 

This painting, showing a flock of sheep on a hillside in the countryside was painted in August 2014. The location is in Devon, UK, set during a very hot summer, near to the town of Seaton. Despite the feeling of endless countryside beyond the distant trees, the southern coastline of the UK is just behind.

The painting is done in oils on an acrylic base, on a canvas board measuring 20” x 16”.
