Harting Down, South Downs, West Sussex UK




Glorious Sunshine on Harting Down today, (South Harting Carpark) walking towards Cocking.  We walked up Beacon Hill and onwards for an hour to Pen Hill.  View East looking towards Treyford Hill and Linch Ball.  We saw lots of Hawks, Skylarks and Cowslips.  It was a wonderful day.  Did this quick 30 minute sketch with soft chalk pastels on Kraft Sketchbook paper.

I just love being outdoors, in the wilderness,  finding a nice view that inspires me (usually a DOWNWARD VIEW), sit down on the grass and study it.  This is pure enjoyment.  The more I paint, the more I want to just be outside and do quick studies. It's all about the journey!!!
