I painted the church on site, seated on a bench on the other side of the main street. It was the end of the afternoon. Cirencester (Wiltshire - England) is a beautiful small town.

Hodson is a small village outside of Swindon. I cycled there with my pochade box in my backpack and painting this on site. There is a friendly pub called the Calley Arms.
