I'm usually not too wild about landscape paintings. Rather than making me admire the art itself, they tend to make me admire the view, which I think is not the greatest merit when it comes to an artistic flair.
So rather than looking at paintings by John Constable at the National Gallery, I wanted to go where he lived and painted.
Manningtree train station. Start of the walk around the Constable Country.
So those dramatic clouds in Constable's paintings... He did not invent them, apparently.
