Your colors here are perfect. The sun-drenched white of the house and the warmth of its brick chimney sit so well with the surrounding soft greens and dusty browns. Perfectly charming without an ounce of sentimentality. Very inspiring.

Lively depth of the charming meadow,grey green and red harmonies,bashful blue window,soft light!And the sloping shadow of the tree which leads our eyes from the wide meadow to the thin top of the pink-red chimney stack enthroned on the landscape! A refreshing picture.

hmmmm devon - clotted cream and rolling hills - absolutely love this painting - louis must be having a whale of a time p.s. my son (born in france) is called louis too.....

Beautiful. Lovely springtime. In Devonshire, I remember sound of the birds, besides the green fields. I think fish and chips sounds like the perfect food! I still crave them.

Painter’s notes

We are staying on the north coast of Devon where Louis has learnt to say 'fish and chips', and has been to the beach with his first bucket and spade
