in and around Devizes

I first started painting outdoors when I was in Japan back in the early eighties. It was such a thrill to get out of Tokyo and look for things to paint in the countryside - mainly shrines and farm buildings. Now I live in Devizes I don't have far to go to find a farmyard, but there are lots of other things that catch my eye.
