Soft washes of jade, slate and muted amber stream through a winding river valley after rain. Translucent bands of colour sink into the watercourse, where cool blues meet warm yellows in the reflections. Ranks of bare poplars and rounded hedgerows stand as simple rhythmic strokes across the middle distance, and wet pigment feathers into ragged soft clouds above. The whole landscape fills the frame edge to edge, luminous and loose.
