Abstract Landscape Painter.  Rural Dweller.  Lover of Modernist Art and Design.

7 February

At 6am this morning, the kitchen lights are reflecting off a thin covering of snow that lies beyond the glass doors.  The occasional flake flutters slowly down.  It continues intermittently throughout the early morning but, by the time I walk Millie, it has created no more than an icing-sugar dusting of the ploughed work.

The fieldfares are busy scouring their usual piece of land.  They are the mid-tone between the black crows and white gulls that work alongside them.

During the afternoon, in the field adjacent to the village hall, two male pheasants are squaring up to do battle.  They are not easily scared away by us, and seem almost to resent the intrusion - grudgingly moving off as we pass nearby.

I complete a small painting - another more abstract and experimental piece than of late.  I enjoy the saturated blocks of colour for their own sake.
