The countryside that is the Exe Valley to the north of Exeter is, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful in the world.
Here you will find a meandering river, lush green fields, beautiful trees and rolling hills in addition to thatched-roof cottages
that are hundreds of years old and look like they've just popped out of The Lord Of The Rings. It is this area that provided the location for my next set of cow paintings. An early summer morning's drive on a sunny day, I was heading north and had just crossed a narrow stone-walled bridge (and by 'narrow' I mean 'barely more than the width of my car') when I glanced
left and saw a large herd of light golden brown cows basking in the low morning sun. This view led to the painting 'Guardians of the Valley' which depicts two horned cattle lying down, almost as if they are in the middle of a conversation, in a grassy field
that overlooks a valley with rolling hedge-lined fields.
