Fen Country


Capturing the magnitude of the Fens

Before launching straight into my normal manic painting fenzy Im slowing down and undertaking a bit of research (yes,its true !).

I want to take time to really think about how I convey 'The Fens', translate into an image the feeling and emotion I experience when standing looking out over the vast agricultural landscape. For me it is magnificent, huge skies, bleak, peaceful (when the sun is shining and theres no wind!). The rich black soil contrasted against the ever changing sky. So The fens is my project for the next few weeks - more to come but Vaughn Williams composed a short classical piece inspired by the fens - enjoy!
