Marsh Grass - Mixed media

In midsummer sunshine with the coming harvest filling out the fields, the contrasts between the green marsh meadow and the ochre barley, and between the barley and the forget-me-not blue sky, and between the sky and the dazzling white of the clouds are as sharp as heraldic emblems. In this painting I wanted to enjoy midsummer's interplay of aerial and earthly topography, and the glorious colours of July before excessive growth or heat or dry winds bring a note of weariness and raggedness to the August scene. And it is England, after all, so I think we are about to have a shower, one of those showers on a hot day that fills the air with the scent of rain on warm earth.
