Green layers.

Today's challenge is: Serenity .

Green is a very restful colour. This view is within easy walking distance from our home. The small building nestling in the trees is the former Ruyton-of-the-XI-Towns Independent [then United Reformed Church] Chapel. It was erected in 1832-3 by local builder Nathanael Edwards of Ruyton on a site bought for £5, and cost £500 to build. The chapel opened on Good Friday 5th April 1833.

A capital composition with the shaded area of the crop and the tree in blossom and the chapel leading the eye back and forth across the scene.

I love the contrast between the light green and the dark green, Amelia. I love also your subtle use of lead-in lines. The sense of depth is very impressive. All the best, Joe
