Off topic Friday: The last glimpse of summer

In spired by trips through the Cambrian mountains, and those days when there is a sudden flash of sunlight that brightens up a valley. This is mixed media, with lots of gesso as a base on which I painted in watercolour.

The green area is a nice technique I use when I place some burlap threads on the paper, drip acrylic ink onto them, let the area partially dry, and then wash off the still wet bits.

I could just as well have called it 'The first glimpse of spring', but that would not have fitted the time of year (now) when it was painted. I hope you enjoy it.
