And then I'll work on them here and then they'll go back up with me.

So that keeps me as a sort of a singular subject.

Yeah, I know about animals.

And this painting is quite new and is quite a singular painting for me.

It's events that have all happened and they've come together.

So it's set in the estuary of, what's it called?

Anyway, the distant hills at Snowdon, or now it's called Errari.

with the estuary that floods.

There's a tidal estuary, so the estuary floods.

I've added the buzzard because when I was painting on the farm, and you're very still when you're painting, and you're just standing there looking for hours, suddenly this wild buzzard just appeared on a fence post 50 yards away.

It was so exhilarating to have this wild bird

We don't have eagles in Wales, but it's the largest bird of prey in Wales.

But it was so exciting having this bird just land near me.

So that's where the buzzard comes in.

Because that's a tidal estuary, one of the tasks of a shepherd on the farm is to dip their sheep against ticks so they stay healthy.

So you have this big tank filled up with water with sheep dip in and you dunk every sheep through it.

So these are the animals being dipped, going through this long tank.

So I've just invented altogether this rather new painting, which I think actually works and is...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow.
