COTTAGE ON THE FENS

THIS IS HOW THIS PAINTING CAME INTO BEING IT ALMOST PAINTED ITSELF AND LOOKS DIFFERENT IN EVERY LIGHT. I GOT UP AT TWO A.M. ONE MORNING AND STARTED THIS PAINTING. I PAINTED THE COTTAGE AND THE MOUNTAINS. THEN I PAINTED THE FIELDS WITH MUSTARD GROWING ON THE LEFT. SOON THE POLLEN FROM THE MUSTARD FLOWERS COVERED EVERYTHING. MIST HUNG HEAVY IN THE FIELDS. THEN THE TIDE CAME IN AND PULLED THE POLLEN TROUGH THE FENS AND INTO THE WATER. CLOUDS OF MIST COVERED THE SKY. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A BREEZE FROM THE OCEAN PARTED THE CLOUDS TO REVEAL A WONDERFUL DAWN.
