27 cm (w) x 18 cm (h), pastels on acid-free coloured-ground ‘Canson’ paper.
Date produced: 14th November 2008

Produced on-site using three sessions of about an hour, just after sunrise. The most important consideration was capturing the colours and tones experienced throughout the whole scene. Especially important though, was the glow of reflected orange light from all the delicate foliage in the large cedar tree as well as the pale mauves from the masses of the tiny flowers that were lit up in the morning sunlight.
