Summer on the Westwood, Beverley. 14x10 inch, oil on canvas board.

Saw this view after dog walkies and thought the foreground thistles and grass seed heads would provide an interesting reminder of this time, a time of summer, strawberries and cream, Wimbledon and cricket. The weather is changeable with showers forecast. Earlier when walking along the trodden paths I was struck by the huge number of cattle, all lying down, some difficult to see in the deep, seed headed, pale grass, most of the cattle had their eyes shut and seemingly all were chewing. The painting shows the thistles and pale seed heads, in the distance the omnipresent Minster watches, a building so important to Beverley and well used both as a church and as a place for musical recitals, Christmas Fairs and much more.
