Lazy afternoons...

This is a scene from a Sunday afternoon on a particularly hot day at Whitlingham Hall in Norfolk. Every time we go, this little girl insists on packing up her basket with old bread and taking it to feed the ducks on the lake. They must know her by sight now as they rushed up to her as soon as they spotted her.

This piece measures 20"x16". Some people like detail in a painting, some don't. I prefer to leave a little to the imagination. This painting is simple. Just the way I like it.
