“Long Grass at #WhiteHorseHill” is the painting I’m most often asked to turn into a #canvasprint.
Earlier this month an older lady got in touch to say how much White Horse Hill had meant to her throughout her life. Having recently moved to a new flat in East Sussex, she wanted a canvas print of “Long Grass at White Horse Hill” for her wall, but didn't feel confident ordering it online, and asked if I could arrange it for her. No problem!
Her canvas print arrived with her last week and she's "delighted" with it. It's already hanging in pride of place, reminding her of a landscape she loves so much. And so do I!

Somebody asked me if I had ever painted other #WhiteHorses (other than the one at #Uffington, or the waves at the seaside on a blustery day).
Yes! I painted all the #Wiltshire White Horses. These are all modern - cut in the 18th & 19th centuries, but gorgeous nonetheless.
This was a commission for someone who had walked the White Horse Trail.

The Ridgeway: Hike the 5,000-year-old pathway that's Britain's oldest road
Link
📌 Summary: The Ridgeway is a 87-mile prehistoric trackway that cuts across the chalk hills of southern England. It has been in use for at least 5,000 years and is widely recognised as Britain's oldest road. The path is littered with Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, and other historical features. The Ridgeway is a designated National Trail and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
🎯 Key Points:
The Ridgeway has been in use for at least 5,000 years and is widely recognised as Britain's oldest road.
The path cuts diagonally across the chalk downs of southern England, linking Overton Hill in Wiltshire with Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.
The Ridgeway is part of a much longer trading route that once connected the coasts of Dorset and Norfolk.
The path is littered with Neolithic burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, and other historical features.
The Ridgeway is a designated National Trail and offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
The path is dotted with sloping pastures and designated public bridleways for horse riders.
Rural pubs remain an integral part of Ridgeway folklore.
Usage of the Ridgeway has increased in recent years, especially since the pandemic.

Today I went #hiking along the #Ridgeway 😀 I managed to go 13 miles, though it was a really hard slog at the end!
I went past Wayland's Smithy, #Uffington Castle, and a LOT of hedgerows ... here's a little thread of photos I took:1) Wayland's Smithy

You might think there are many places one might see in a solstice dawn, but over the years, we've become a little picky. #Stonehenge is always so busy, and #Avebury is so low down in the landscape, and #Uffington is great for summer but faces the wrong way for a winter sunrise.
