Well, bowling greens. Amazing places. There is a "cambre" on the green which means a slight rise in the centre and when the bowls get too near the edge they drop gently into a trough which runs right the way round. The grass is cut so finely it looks like a green carpet. There is a rule that you are not supposed to stand on them in your ordinary shoes - bowls players have special shoes I think. This lady isn't a bowls player. She just happened to be there.

Wonderful design. You really caught the swelling feeling of the ground. And that woman feels ghostly enough that it probably wouldn't matter what kind of shoes she wore, she could just float across the green!
I really appreciate the psychological probing you're doing with these paintings, Sheila.
Great painting, the landcape seems to be spinning out of the figure, if the figue dissapeared you feel the landscape would too.
Hi Don, great to see you back from your printing workshop. I will drop by your blog tonight and have a look if there is any news of it! Yep, she is another one of those ghosts I think (otherwise the bowling green attendant would have pitched her off I think). I'm really interested in developing these recent pics and they are a personal journey in many ways. Thanks Don.
Simon, thanks for that contribution. You always write so well about paintings -yours and other peoples. That is the feeling I wanted with this one.
