The same cows as a previous post, done in more realistic colours. The day, as is frequently the case in England, was overcast, which created a flat quality. I usually like to have lots of modelling and shadows, but I kind of like the abstractness that the lighting created.

Field Behind Maggie's House
This is twilight in Anstey, England, behind an estate development. The countryside around Anstey, as most of rural England, is beautiful, and this sunset caught my eye while visiting my partners' sister-in-law and I ran down the street with my camera hoping to catch some of the wonderful light.

Cows Near Leicester
I am playing a bit. I did this using only burnt sienna and ultramarine blue with a bit of white. It has almost no modelling as it was a very overcast day, but I flattened it out even more.
