Big Yellow Field is a quintessential English countryside scene looking across a field of corn at the height of one of our warmer summers. In the distance a little white house sits on the edge of a dark magical wood. The painting is Oil and Acrylic on Canvas and measures 39″ x 39″.

Big Yellow Field is currently on display at The Bigger Picture Gallery at 93 Church Road, Crystal Palace.
