This morning -I sat in my tractor listening to Olivers lecture on how to become a successful landscape artist. The serenity of the countryside that he felt and that shows so beautifully in his paintings. And I thought to myself; -How I envy the ability to go out on a sunny morning and just paint! Then he said "Remove the obstacles that stops you from going outside!" I know that he does not mean change your entire career and sell the farm! But the phrases stuck with me, and got me thinking. When do I find serenity in the landscape I love? The answer is in the fall, and winter. When the barns are full the pressure is off! And just now I was drinking Coffee on break and looked at som beautiful paintings of fall and winter, and a description to a painting came up: "He saw the beauty of a ploughed field! - Rowland Hilder!!

I just bought my first art book as a result of Ollies lecture, and that phrase. And now has a deeper understanding of why I just adore Edos paintings with winter and autumnal colours.

One obstacle removed, and deeper understanding of my favourite colours!

I have now taken up enough space.. Thank you Oliver and Edo for the opportunity to do so!!
