View from the Pond


Graham, who commissioned this painting gave me the option to choose which view of the house to paint. This made a nice change as most people specify exactly which view they want painting which doesn't leave me with much choice on how to represent the subject matter. I chose this view from the pond because even though a lot of the house itself was obscured by the trees, I thought it was more interesting to portray more of the landscape of the garden.

'I commissioned the is painting form my wife's birthday.
She is very difficult to buy for.
This turned out to be a complete success. One of the best presents she has
ever received."
