Millfield

This is an encaustic painting of the houses that back onto the wildlife area and Millfield park in Easingwold. The wildlife area includes a couple of acres of marshy ground, with no footpaths into it, and a few acres of fairly young deciduous woods, with lots of paths. Hector loves these woods, and is always desperate to get into the marshy bit. We haven't seen any of the snipe that are supposed to live here, but we have had some great views of a hunting sparrowhawk and a hunting barn owl. We have also watched a buzzard glide over. I'll be interested to watch this area as the seasons turn.
