I painted this landscape in pure watercolour and the original painting was 27 1/2 inches tall x 9 3/4 inches wide.
This was painted in March 2011 as a surprise gift for a Golden Wedding Anniversary. I do not often agree to commissions but I was asked by the daughter of friends (also guests) of ours who like my work. One of the options to paint was St Agnes and the church holds a special significance for them. I was looking for a view from the church itself, but on the way there found this bank covered in flowers. Not strictly “wild”, but naturalised and mostly self seeded. The air was cool and crisp and I worked between the hours of 11am and 3pm on successive days.
