Looking towards Romsey and the Black Range from Rosebery Hill, Pipers Creek

Whilst painting this scene, a large hawk was circling above me and catching the updrafts on the hillside (I was treated to a hawk-shaped shadow occasionally falling across the canvas).  I was also having a little bit of trouble getting used to my new pochade box (this was its first outing), so just like the hawk, I was winging it.
