This is the same shearing shed as is in my earlier landscape “View from the lane”, based on an image I snapped as we were walking back from the letter box at the corner. I really wanted to try and capture this scene again with a slightly different perspective and see how things might change with my process. Ironically, I ended up going very detailed with this painting as well. Something about this particular landscape draws out the detail in me.
This was one of several small paintings I finished and framed just in time for the Sutton Village Gallery “Beyond the Front Gate” exhibition. Dad took it to the framers as soon as it was finished and thence from the framers straight to the gallery. Consequently I only have the image of it that dad took as he was handing it over to the framers.
