3 landscape studies from a few months ago. Sometimes my thoughts drift back to the rural East Anglian landscape of my birth. I don't know if it's the vast skies, dearth of rain (compared to Wales) and flat perspective, but I haven't experienced the 'feel' anywhere else. #ukart

Today's painting. The Weaver. By Natalia Goncharova. (1910 National museum of Wales). A favourite artist of mine. Weaving was an important part of the local and cottage economy here in the village. Sewing for the NHS has started in some local houses recently. @artdotcom
