Ragworts on the Huggate Road 12x10 inch oil on canvas board.

Just past Minningdale on the Huggate Road is a lovely old ash tree. It is a sunny, bright day which proved deceptive. I had been painting quickly due to the biting wind, trying to finish it. However, I just had to stop as my fingers became very painful with the cold. I struggled to get this far and would normally have continued to add more fine detail. Though looking at it now I realise it will do. Ragworts stands on the horizon. It lacks some detail like a suggestion of windows and I am tempted to add these at home. My preferred way is to revisit on a warmer day to add them. I may just leave it as it is, a January day
