I'd love to see them in real life. Flatford Mill is my fave too. I think he spent some time touring round studying so maybe he did study trees. He didn't have photography to help him and his paintings took so long so he had to make sketches to remember what he'd seen, I guess. There's no one like him now, is there? Everything, including paintings, is done so fast now.

Thank you so much for your comment and upvote. I'm very grateful :)
