Before the Picnic

One of my favourite pictures has found a new home.
I called this Before the Picnic because that's what it was.
We were getting everything ready and it was blowing a gale, eventually we ate in the car.
When I look at it , it was us grown ups getting everything ready. The children were obviously just choosing the site.

On a technical note - to get such a high colour in the picture I used a bright red ground. I was feeling on top form that day! I've painted several more in this series.
