Muddy Boots


My over-riding memory of the winter 2013/2014 will be of rain. It rarely seems to have stopped. We have been much more fortunate than many in the UK - the sea defences held and the work done on the River Rife prevented flooding. However, everywhere you walk is so muddy.

This pastel painting depicts my walking boots after a walk with the dog along the banks of the Rife, down to the beach and back again. It measures approx 11" by 9", and was created with Conte hard pastels on Winsor paper.

Let's hope the spring brings drier weather.
