Whalley Nab and distant Pendle

This paintings has taken its time coming to a conclusion, the northern light,  affected as it is by the near expanse of the sea and the ever present moisture laden atlantic sky is a subtle light that moves and shimmers as it wills. Walking along Moor Lane high above the valley at the top of the moor your met wiuth a great view if ever there is one,  and one thats as good and as pleasing as any I have seen. Today is a shimmering green day, a thin cloud covers Pendle and the suns rays refract in all directions. At the top of the ridge above Brierley Farm the road dips steeply the light plays of the edges of the trees or bounces across the fields to refract away elsewhere, thicker cloud creates an amused viel.
