Brill from The Dryer Thame

I've painted this at least twelve times, the year before last using watercolor like oil paint ie opaque or transparent layers. This was today a very hot day, beside the shade tree, a horsechestnut,
which I have been using for shelter since 1986!
Oil on board 5x8 inchs

Ok, the painting that I published here needed rotating, so this is a photograph of the landscape

while the river was in flood early this year, acting in replacement.

In the fore ground left ,the shadow of the tree under which I shelter.

Here is the picture at last. I'll dig out the 2011 under painting.
