This was painted outside of my Open Studio, yesterday. Just outside the open door of my Open Studio, to be precise.

Hill forts are rather difficult to depict as a whole, and sometimes rather unsatisfying or unrepresentantive as little bits. Dannebury hill fort, near Andover in Hampshire, is a large and fairly complex hillfort, but it does have some satisfyingly significant ramparts, and some very lovely trees.

Here s one of the latter upon one of the former.

From a photograph, painted in the Open Studio last week.

It was raining.
This one stayed inside, got wiped, and redrawn on a piece of A4 paper...

Most recent, inspired by woodcut and several other things lying around the studio.
