Towards the Golden Valley!

I never realised it was called this; but this afternoon I can see why this 1 mile stretch of sloping ploughed fields, has earned this term.

The air is crisp, but  smoky in smell,the warm tones of madder, sienna, and burnt umber will soon be jumping onto my sketch book!

I love the way this farmers field is ploughed to reveal a surprise texture.

Worked very fast, as dog is impatient for a walk.  ( probably a 4 min. sketch )

I strongly advise, everyone to at some point to work fast, and outside in nature; be expressive and spontaneous, with no preconceived ideas at what may result.

Sometimes you may have a surprise, but never  form your conclusion, until back at your base.!
