The artist wrote from Lavington Common (17 August 1959): ‘Painted in the autumn of 1958. Direct from nature (as is my usual practice with this type of work). The subject is in the plantation woods near this house. I have painted many aspects of this same Drive - throughout the Seasons ever since we came here some 19 years ago. Other views of the same drive are reproduced in the Penguin edition of modern painters - see plates 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21.’ This refers to the book on his work by Patrick Heron published in 1955.
