Norfolk Mill (2016)Watercolour by Noel Sawyer

We visit Norfolk each year if possible and the Broads are amongst our favourite places. Created from peat extraction in the 17th and 18th centuries the broads are now a National Park. There are dozens of mills, some restored and some derelict, most of which were originally wind pumps, draining low lying fields and dykes. The area is a haven for wild life, holiday makers and artists. The great Edward Seago lived in Ludham, a village close to the broads and painted there frequently. I made this painting from a smaller watercolour sketch painted plein air, and have tried to depict the wonderful sense of space, simplicity and calmness with the reeds gently moving in the breeze.
