This is an Oast House that farmers dry their hops in. I, as a lad of 4, went every year with my parents to pick hops, then the farmers collected each individual`s baskets full of hops, and we got paid for it. Also we had a lovely holiday into the bargain.
It's so nice to see the background colour and basic shape in preparation for this painting Vic, which incidentally is really good.

Beautifully painted, Vic. It's nice to see how an Artist begins his work...and the perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors..
Hi Hilda.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you like it my friend. There is an English Artist who always seem to paint these Oast`s houses, I can`t remember his surname but his first name I think is Ray. All the best Hilda.
