On the old Roman Road, Read Lancashire...Work in progress Rob Miller

The Old Roman Road Higher House Farm

Acrylic on Canvas.

This shows two of the stages in the painting the first the background colours and drawing in charcoal and  paint creating the paintings structure and future mood.  The area is on the edge of moorland, ancient woodland and witchcraft.

The second image is a freshening coat of paint that begins to set some values in colour but not in tone. Structurally it also starts a debate between the values that I should place on whats more important to me and the viewer is it:-

a) the distant view through the trees or

b) the white farm its intimate pedestrian gateway and the bend in the old road.
