Peter Coker's 'fourth and fifth visits to Badenscallie (on July 1988 and August 1989) yielded paintings of nets that are generally more naturalistic. The poles stand firm upon the vivid grass and under an intense sky, an environment visible both around and through the semi-transparent netting'.
Peter Coker RA, 2002, page 104
