Norton Camp
A walk around the woods of Norton Camp from Craven Arms, Shropshire was a lovely ramble. This painting was one of the few distant views of hills available on the walk, since mostly I was in the woods! During this painting one of those low flying jets came from overhead, flew to the hill in the distance (I think it was Clee Hill), banked and headed off again. Overall it took a mere one or two minutes at most. Crushed hazelnuts still green, A beech limb fallen across the path, up a steep banked lane. Squares of corn and dots of oak, A wandering line of a hedge. An arm wet with sparkling water, A damp grass seat, Fading foxgloves, Strong swirling breeze. Unripe blackberries, Mature cheddar crisps, A Tunnock teacake, A chest full of fresh air, Time to walk on.

Love it. If I may say: It reminds me of Victor Higgins. He did some amazing things with color and New Mexico skies. So, this is a compliment. A beautiful mountain here.
ReplyDeleteHi Will, I don't know if it's big enough to be called a mountain, but I loved looking at Higgins' work. Not an artist I've come across before, so thanks for mentioning him.. it's inspired me to keep on going.
