Heather Path in Isabella Plantation



Went to Isabella plantation today with my mum and daughter. It is a charming enclosure within Richmond Park. There is an area there full of flowering heather bushes. The fragrance is so nice. I found myself a cosy place by the bridge over a tiny brook an dedicated an hour to au plein air painting. Here is the result.

This tree stands on the grounds of the National Physical Laboratory where we had an exhibition recently. It has been planted in mid 14th century!!! Usually there's no public access there so I've made sketches and photos of this tree while I could.
