My friend Hannah sent me a photo of this mail box a while back thinking I’d love it, and funnily enough I had taken the exact same photo! She reminded me of it again today, and the weather was beautiful to go and paint it. I finally used my tripod I got a few years back specially for my pochade box! I actually really enjoyed standing whilst painting. I saw some amazing horses and everyone was so chatty.
Painted as part of PleinAirpril challenege 2024, where I painted outside every day for the whole of April.
