My art studio is down a mud track, off a tiny Wealden country road. As well as it being home to my studio, it is also home to heritage cows, a trickling pond, an Oast house, to name a few. As the pond is near the South Downs Way, I thought the pond was a dew pond; dew ponds are small, round ponds sited in hollows, made by digging a pit and lining it with clay. They're found in a few dry, hilly places, like the South Downs, where there's no water running down the hillsides. This is because the rock underneath the surface, mostly chalk, is full of small openings and water drains away underground. I have now learnt that the soil around my studio is not chalk and does not drain easily, it is clay, thick and muddy, holding the water as firmly as a glass. If the pond near my studio isn't a dew pond, then what is it and what shall I name the painting of the pond?
Recently I discovered that there was an old English recipe called Sussex Pond Pudding and giggling with delight as I felt that this was a much more fitting name for my painting. Sussex Pond was born.
