Later in the afternoon I chose this scene to sketch. and painted it later at home. The traffic over the bridge was incessant queuing up to turn either right past the Greyhound or left past the church and I didn't want the cars in this painting.

That is a lovely painting Tessa, you've really captured the atmosphere of the ponds, and wouldn't it be just wonderful if we could have all traffic diverted away from them!
So lovely, Tessa!
Didn't they know you were trying to paint?? They should have detoured for you! Beautiful, beautiful painting!
Thanks for your comments.When I lived down there they tried to make it one way but it was chaos.
