Over The Rainbow




At around 3pm today, the sky above 'Bigger Trees Near Warter' darkened. It threw eerie shadows through the domed roof across the painting, as if to remind us that the hour was approaching....The last member of the public to see it was as reluctant as we were to leave the forest for the last time. I drew back the curtain and felt like the Pevensie children when they leave Narnia for the last time through the wardrobe and can't return, as I stepped out onto a stormy, rain-soaked Queen Victoria Square. I returned home and, making myself a consolatory brew, looked out of the kitchen window. I was overwhelmed by what I saw, then rushed to grab my camera and umbrella. As Mr Hockney once remarked:  "Nature never lets you down"
