Cotswolds view from above Broadway (2020)

This view is typical of the many views from the hundred mile Cotswold Way that follows the escarpment from Chipping Campden to Bath. Open fields, trees and hedges define the landscape stretching to distant views of the fertile vale and distant Welsh hills. It is fine walking country. The route is punctuated by small characterful towns and villages such as Broadway. This painting seeks to explore the restful patterns of verdant countryside, as well as learning the technical skills of painting trees and exploring aerial perspective.
