Oil on Board 8" x 6", Framed. Bright highlights and strong long shadows make a perfect combination for a 'townscape' or even 'villagescape'. This is Riston Barn in Stainforth with the village's only post box, depicted here with a flash of windsor red. Again I'm trying to be looser in style and purposely avoided overdetailing the background houses, infact theres only two layers there and together they make for enough detail, but a new addition (for me) is the depiction of a car. Now I have previously avoided putting the trappings of modern-day into these paintings, however I am getting to feel that they are so prevalent they cannot be omitted and indeed provides a sense of time and place with these paintings. I did avoid putting in the wheelie bin as that would be a step too far.
