I thought it would be interesting to look at a set of studies at different stages to make up the Mill in Essex Contemporary Lithographs print by John Aldridge in 1938,
Below is another view of the mill painted in Oil by Aldridge as a plein air sketch.
Here is also another study of the mill with the same trees in the print. It might even have a swimming in the ground, or just some mud banks. I find the abstraction of the lithograph to be so controlled and the balance of colours is so charming.
