Thank you Kenneth. The bloom version is - as far as I am concerned - 
only an excursion out of curiosity following Bill's comment. It was 
something I was curious about after all that time. I like its effect but 
it is not my favourite either and anyway the scene was not created with 
bloom in mind. My real intention was the re-creation of those 19th 
century ideas about the country side (sometimes stimulated by underlying 
social viewpoints) especially after the invention of paint tubes which 
enabled artists to work in the open air.
