From Watercolours, acrylics and, her favourite medium Oils, Ann captures the atmosphere of the day with her artworks. Preferring to paint 'en plein air’ Ann admits there is no better way to capture the scene than being there in person. Her art shows this with atmosphere and light, saying even on an overcast day there can be contrasts.

Ann can often be seen setting up her easel at various locations around Exmoor National Park. Exmoor itself offers so many different challenges with landscapes, seascapes and wildlife.

The walk takes you up to Chains Barrow then past Pinkery Pond to Wood Barrow before heading south along the Tarka Trail to Sloley Stone. From there we head northeast past Mole’s Chamber to the B3588 and the lay-by. Along the way you learn the history of this part of what was The Royal Forest of Exmoor. Bring a picnic!
