It was a very hot summer's day; I nearly boiled whilst painting! I was particularly interested in the hot colours in the foreground setting off the faded blues of the distance. I used lines in the shrubs and tree near the top of the picture to provide detail to the painting, leaving the foreground in loose washes. I wanted to make the composition unusual, featuring the main focal point - the tree - being at the top right of the painting. Normally this shouldn't work, but I feel in the case of this painting it does, as it is balanced by the heavy warm colour of the foreground. This gives a feeling of space and distance, heat and sunlight.
