| The English Countryside |
During my winter holiday, I traveled to the UK to spend time with Andrew. It was a breath of fresh air being in England, after spending so much time in busy Los Angeles. The countryside is green, damp, fresh, and just so English.
Andrew and I spent a lot of time relaxing at his small house, cooking, and having relaxing visits around Surrey. It was delightful and refreshing. This is my impressionist view of his father's back yard, painted from a photograph. I had recently seem David Hockney's paintings in impressionist colors, and decided to try myself. The sky was often dark and moody, but I loved it. It was quite a nice change from LA.
I sent this painting to Andrew's brother, Tim, and his girlfriend, Shelley. I hope that it will remind them of home.
