Spring Barn Ribble Valley

The remote barn in this painting was situated on a rise at the top of a Lane in the Ribble Valley. Like an old man its ancient walls hugged the ground just below the sky line for shelter. Around the barn a drift of buttercups flooded the small field in bright colour. Above a hawk mewed and drifted through a kaleidoscope of subtle blue gray skies.
