I spent a few weeks last summer trying to paint the shadows in the valley. The shadows in the contours of the hills are hundreds of feet high – vast, lumbering areas of darkness that stealthily creep around as I watch. Inside the shadows are many areas of colour, making it very difficult to translate them into paint. The more I stare and try to simplify them so that they fit onto my tiny canvas, the more impossible the task seems to be.
