I began working on this painting of the evening marsh some years ago. My sketchbook has a few studies that I did of the subject but nothing much came of them. This is often the case and a idea can remain in my mind for quite some time until finally becoming reality - in this case expressed in a painting. I spent a bit more time on this one especially working on the grass as I wanted to capture the receding marsh grasses and textures, also on the water which leads the eye into the mid-distance and then on to the distant water. I'm relieved that this one came to fruition and hopefully this will lead to a greater range of evening paintings. Size is 10 x 8 inches (25x20cm), oil on canvas.
