Mud, mud, glorious mud

In truth, I'm not too good at walking in mud so I didn't make a lot of progress up this lane.  But it was fun to paint it - I used black paint over much of the painting to start with, which I very rarely do; had a bit of a fight with that, and perhaps over-compensated with Winsor Violet to counteract it.  I took two photographs, which might vary a little on-screen - so I'll post 'em both....

Interesting what difference a different light and resolution makes...
