Sunlight gathers; leaves,
Deep in conversation, turn
Autumn evergreen.

This is a scene I’ve painted before ~ both with and without sheep. I love the shapes and the colours, and I love that it is so typically New Zealand. ‘A Conversation with Trees’ will also be part of my exhibition in June. Details coming next month.
