It has dirty yellows and dun-greens, under silvery mid-winter light. You might even call it drab, a deliberate exercise in the un-picturesque. It's Dallington many decades ago, as seen by Russell Clark – a painting which, on an ordinary day, you might find yourself walking right past.

Notes

When in doubt, I reach for the work of walker, watcher, landscape writer, polymath and maverick intellectual Rebecca Solnit.
