My canvas after half an hour

Beginning. I am making this painting a gift to Erin and Mike for having me to stay. It's the first time I have painted a landscape at this scale, so a new challenge. I'm having to work outside as there isn't really a suitable place to paint inside especially with the children running about, so I have been working on cooler days. I couldn't paint today as temperatures outside got up to about 28°. I'll post an update soon.
