Description

'It's Been A Glorious Evening' is an imaginary scene, inspired by a previous painting of a location in Sussex that I made after a heavy fall of snow one year called 'Evening Glow.' I liked the composition of the oak tree and the tracks on the field leading the eye into the painting, but wanted to capture the atmosphere of a warm evening in Spring. I introduced a foreground gorse bush, and emphasised the sunlit foliage on the trees, leaving cool blue hills in the distance to add a sense of space to the painting.
