Happy #EarthDay ????????“To sit down at an easel in a tree-shadow and paint a landscape is never easy, but it is a comfortable manner of painting. Many happy moments fly too fast when the artist finds his.” – #munnings in his autobiography, 1950 ???? Mare and Foal in Spring Meadow, 1909 ???? River Landscape, Suffolk, 1904 ???? A Cornwall Lane, 1906
