The apple cart


There's a village I drive through on the way to work each day.
There's lots of old buildings, barns, farmhouses and also orchards.
In one orchard in particular, there's a lovely old wooden cart, underneath the apple tree, perfect for catching windfalls.
The village dates back to medieval times, when all the farms worked together as a cooperative. All the villagers helped each other out, with sharing their produce, exchanging harvests, and just generally being a close community.

  3. thanks for your comments, i was drawing
    a prodigious amount at one time,
    and was offered a place on an art course to prepare for my masters in fine art, but at the moment i'm applying for funding,
    so hopefully i'll pick that part of me back up,
    and making a painting of the apple cart
    sounds like a good idea to me,
    i might try oils,
    thanks for your comments, makes the blog idea totally worthwhile
