I did this from photos. I really would have sat out to do it,on Beech Lane among the nettles , with rain showers imminent, but ran short of time, as usual. The red field was so surprising, I had to try and capture it. Again, I think an oil painting, with reference to Hockney might be interesting to try. The mauve-ish fields are linseed ... a very pretty crop, with its pretty blue daisy flowers.

I see my trusty old Isabey brush is shedding what must be broken-off hairs. Boo hoo.
Oh, isn't that lovely - such variation in colours in fields...certainly helps with the 'green' problem, which can be, as you said before, so unexciting in paintings. I think avoiding sitting in the nettles and possible rain was a good thing! Sorry to hear about your brush - upsetting when a trusty friend starts ailing!
P.S. I think a Hockney style rendition in oils could be stunning!
So beautiful, Viv. Your eyes feasted on such gorgeous scenery! Must go look up Hockney...
Lots of love XXXOOO
