Hello everyone,
I loved the open river walk on Sunday and managed to draw for a couple of hours. I had wanted to draw this particular scene since last years walk and the weather was perfect for it. I have done several drawings of the river at various points and must say that few places can rival the beauty of such a quinisentialy English landscape. The intimate and personal scale of the valley with its mix of domestic,farming and sporting use along with the blending of natural and man managed habitat make it a miniature jewel. It constantly surprises as each bend unfolds from tranquil countryside to powerful current. I hope I will be able to sit and draw this beautiful place for many more years.

Bill
