I have this amazing painting.
Sadly, I have no amazing story to go with it.
In fact, the origin of this painting is murky.
I’m pretty sure that it is from a photo I took.
I’m not sure if I still have the photo but I can still remember that photo.
And I’m pretty sure that I took this photo when I was driving in the countryside.
I’m not sure if I was alone and I stopped and took the photo.
I think that was the case.
But I could have been in the car with my family on some excursion when I saw this scene.
And I can’t remember the exact location.
I think I’d just passed a row of houses in the countryside, gone over a bridge and then I came upon this scene.
I think if I pass the same place again then I will recall it.
It was definitely in Oita prefecture where I live.
But that’s all I can remember.
At some point, I have to do some more paintings of smoke (or mist) in the countryside as I think they will turn into amazing paintings such as this one.
And it will be so fun to paint them.
That’s all for now,
Gareth.
