A very good friend bought me a book about clouds which inspired me to watch them! Of course, I’d always glanced up and knew they were there, but I’d never really given much thought to how they swept across the sky. Having studied the movement and change in cloud formation for a number of weeks, or was it months…and now I realise it’s ongoing…the intention behind this painting was simply to paint the sky travelling above rooftops. As is so often the case, the painting has a mind of its own, and this one decided upon trees rather than houses. I called upon my memory of my local coastline and it brought to mind the Frinton greensward. This is not a painting of that area but an imagined scene inspired by the vast openness of the view beyond when standing on the greensward, as I so often do. How far one can see – how far one can go. That would be a journey.
