An acrylic on canvas 600 x 900mm.  After a cycle ride around Saunton and Crow Point I returned to this Linhay on the Braunton Marsh.  I like to sit and sketch and watch the sticklebacks swim in the clear waters of the drain.  Not today it’s freezing.  This scene shows the stark winter sun receding behind a bank of grey rainclouds.  Time to cycle back to Barnstaple as the warmth of the sun has gone.  AL
