Lots of interest in the underlayers with more expressive brushmarks on the top depicting the vagaries of the weather on the North coast of Cornwall

First Days of Spring Solitude The iconic barrel is justEarly Spring on the North Coast of Cornwall . Exploring one of the deep valleys that lead down to the sea . The gorse is the one of the first things to flower and the burst of yellow just gorgeous. Gorse is Cornwall's national flower too.
