The Old Packhorse Road
This painting shows an old trail across the Sussex Downs, used for years by travellers and traders now illuminated in the early Spring sunshine.
The first stage of the painting was the underpainting using earth colours such as burnt umber with the brighter colours added on top. It conveys the warmth and optimism of a beautiful day on the downs.
