Description

This is another part of the East Sussex countyside. Seen towards the end of the summer with flax growing in a distant field. I have made the blue colour of flax closer to purple for the sake of the painting not for the sake of reality. The group of figures having a picnic towards the upper right of the painting have been transported from Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, which hangs at ‎Musée d’Orsay, in Paris.
