Inspired by the work of J M W Turner, I created Turning Windmill (yes, the part-pun is intentional!) by using one of my textures, one from Kerstin Frank and a photograph of a windmill in Estonia from Wikimedia.
‘Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on—that is, badly.’
George Orwell, Animal Farm
When I first posted about Turning Windmill in January 2014, I was not at all sure about it and had yet to upload the image to any of my galleries. But those of you who were following my blog at the time were enthusiastic and I went ahead and put it up for sale. I’ve become very fond of the image and am rather glad I left it as it is.

“This little piggy saved some water,
This little piggy biked for sun,
This little piggy used windmills,
This little piggy used sun,
And this little piggy squealed
‘Re-re-recycle!’
All the way home.”

I like this one tremendously. It has the look of an old master.
Also I was in Holland recently which I absolutely adore so this is a lovely reminder. All the best. Kris.

I have been volunteering at the windmill this morning, Sarah.It is an impressive building, but is not in a setting as idyllic as yours!
Best wishes, Pete. x

Ah, this is so serene. Love the colours!
Is it just me, or do we not see a lot of these windmills nowadays? They’re beautiful.

There is something very lovely about windmills. I don’t think there are many working windmills these days, except perhaps in Holland.

Is this beautiful or what Sarah?! I love windmills and yours has the feel of yesteryear, which is why it makes such a great tray, coasters and pillows (if you do that too). Has a vintage and cottage feel.
