I painted the Cotswolds near the end of our tour of England, Scotland and England again. . . . On painting the thatched cottages at Great Tew my first thoughts were that no one would believe the TV antennas, and that I was joking. So I measured them exactly to scale with the cottages on the drawing. To me the TV antennas meant that the people living in those thatched cottages are just like us, almost. I may have exaggerated the tunnel effect of the trees over the distant roadway, just a little bit. "artistic license", you know.

I love your watercolor paintings. They have a relaxed feeling about them. I also like the way you have your blog set up it's very easy to view. I'll come back again when I have more time.
I own a watercolor signed KERR84 18.7inches wide by 14 inches high of a tree scene which appears to be in the style of or by Frank Kerr. I would like to check this out. My email is hargr@wanadoo.fr and I would appreciate your help. With an email address I could send a photo of the watercolour.
