Cranham Mill Watercolour

Cranham Mill on Mill Lane painted on a June morning. Low cast shadows from the sun just rising above the ancient woods and hitting the Mill Race making it shine. The Mill is a sprawling set of cream stone buildings. The painting was undertaken above the Mill and the Mill race. Noisy ducks and their 6 perfect ducklings which attached themselves to my boot laces helped me work. A wood pecker hammered close by whilst swans enjoyed the Mill pond. A tranquil English haven.
