Cows

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.

The View

This is the Sky Ride at the Canadian National Exhibition, which is coming up soon. It transports you across the fairgrounds at the midway, 40 ft above the ground. I love the postures of the people on the ride.
