A snowy lane on Dartmoor, by artist Michael Sanders

"The little painting here was done out on site, in freezing conditions. I was seated on a folding stool, and wore a heavy coat, scarf and gloves. After half an hour, I could barely move! When I did move I thought 'enough is enough' and trudged back half a mile to the car. My intention was to finish this painting later, but, when I got home I realised that it needed nothing else. Often, the secret is knowing when a painting's finished". This makes a good demonstration to art groups when painted large scale.
