I can`t think of much that is more agreeable on a hot day than to sit shaded in this little grove and paint.

On a smaller scale again- the intimacy of a smaller scale is  confessional, like whispering.

My satisfaction with this little picture is such that I feel minded to return to a smaller scale and work with that closeness again for a while.

The colours in this Egyptia painting are brighter than appear here- the camera could not quite get it.

I do feel that framing the pictures with a passepartout is generally better. With tight frames such as these they  can feel somewhat crampted, although the gap between from and picture edge in these certainly helps.

Thanks to E.L.D for these photos.
