Northants or bust

Back over the border on a dull but perfect morning for painting.  A cold to start but no wind for a change.  Both painting need some tweaks here, mainly softening some very strong diagonals, but the basics are fine to me.  Deliberately worked on keeping the colours under control with earth colours knocking back the cadmium yellow, but results not quite as dull in real life as in the photos.  I will return to repeat the second one as the composition has lots of potential.
