This is the same acrylic painting that I posted earlier in the week. The

difference is that I photographed it in artificial light and today took it outside

in natural light.

Heard the wind rustling or rushing through the leaves. Now I know why the valley has that name.

I know Europe is burning, but here it is day after day of grey
