13 Monday 23rd January 2012 2.30pm My thirteenth painting – I am a quarter of the way through my year. The second time I came up here there was a cow pat deposited just a couple of feet from my painting place, a great moist dollop. Standing in exactly the same spot each week I have been unable to ignore it. Slowly over the past twelve weeks it has been absorbed into the ground and has now all but disappeared. How nature marks the passage of time! A beautiful sunrise this morning but the day has been dull and cloudy as forecast. But sunlight broke through for a while and lit up the foreground and the houses down in Coombe. There are sheep in the field below me today. A kestrel swooped down the hillside in front of me. Just as I got back indoors after painting there was a sudden and dramatic burst of heavy rain. I was lucky to miss it.
