Here in Pembrokeshire during late spring and early summer,  we have fields full of rapeseed flowers, which brighten the landscape with swathes of bright yellow. It's magical.   

 

 I was driving along this road near my home one day and the view really struck me. Even though I was in a bit of a hurry,  I actually stopped the car and got out to take some reference photo's!

 

The road is leading towards the Preseli Mountains, which you can see in the distance, and just around that bend in the road,  there's a crossroads.

 

I usually paint coastal scenes, so inland lanes are something a little different for me, but I loved the combination of all the blues and yellows intersected by green hedgerows.

 

The painting is called 'Towards a Crossroads', which seems to relate to the road but like most of my work there is also an intended metaphor. In this case it alludes to reaching a turning point in life where you need to make a decision which direction to go in. 

It's painted in oils on a 51cm x 51cm cotton canvas and has already been framed so it's ready to hang. The overall size is 66cm x 66cm.
