Avebury, England, 22" x 15"
Avebury, and the prehistoric stone circle which runs around the edge of the village. Unlike Stonehenge you can go up and touch the stones/boulders. Sheep freely graze among the visitors. This is a plein air done with a local painting group last autumn and I had the battle of fighting against the wind and the sun - both making drying times really fast. I think the far hill, being a ploughed up field perhaps could have been less 'red'. The earth really was that colour in my mind but it would do being a bit paler to push it back in the compostion.
