Summer Calls, 2020

Summer Calls is a 16 x 40 x 1.5-inch wide panoramic oil on canvas painting of a summer landscape with swallows and an abundance of wildflowers, which make the colours rainbow and very vibrant. This painting represents a fond memory of last summer in the fields near where I live in Forest Row. There is a shallow valley of mostly farmland, which attracts swallows each summer, and I really enjoy watching them wheeling up and down over the corn fields, which have wildflowers growing at the edges. It has been painted as part of a series of four landscapes about the seasons.
