Haywain, after Constable

Scenery painting for a cottage scene. They wanted some old style pictures you might find on a cottage wall. So I decided to try and do a quick (1 hour) painting of the haywain. It jiggered me up! And the image I copied from wouldn’t expand so it was the size of a postage stamp! Lots of sketchy work on this but it looks OK at a distance. Acrylic on board.

  1. Very nice! I have seen Willy Lott’s cottage at Flatford in person – it is literally just across the pond from Flatford Mill, which was actually owned by John Constable’s parents! I think that pond must have been a lot more shallow back in the time when he painted the Haywain!
