On Thursday we were quick in completing the mailing that we were asked to do for Stapleford Centre. The mail consisted of only a couple of hundred letters to various diocesan education offices.
It was that warm dry February day and so we decided to go to Wollaton Hall to view the show by Tracey Foster of http://www.whitefootphotography.com/ Her work was quite inspiring and we had a good conversation with her.
After this we set off to find a place to eat our picnic. There were sunny benches at the top of the hill with a good view across the park to the lake.

I had just completed a painting of Wollaton Hall, but was dissatisfied with a large green area. Irene suggested taking another photo with people on and add them.
Unfortunately not many people ventured on to the grass by the nearer trees. The overhanging branch that showed in last year's spring picture shows.
We had another idea and that was to paint some stags on to the picture. Just to the left of this picture were a group of stags.
The ideal group was facing the wrong way.
But not any more.
Here is the final painting.
I add some of my earlier paintings.
