I was asked to paint an apple tree at Great Chalfield Manor
There was quite a delay before I could get there but I think I made it just in time and found the trees with flowering blossom. This little tree caught my eye and appropriately it is seen against a backdrop of the Apple Store, building on the left, and some of the cottages on the Estate. Amazingly it was a beautiful fresh day after the dire wet cold month we've been having ( yes I know the rain is much needed) so I really enjoyed the sun on my back, getting quite hot at times.
