Great Gable 2
Watercolour pen and ink

 

This is the first in a series of watercolours with pen and ink of my favourite Lakeland fells..a kind of revisit that matches the work I'm building up on the West Highlands and Hebrides. The watercolour series will be matched with a series in oils and acrylics which I'm very much, looking forward to painting..As for Great Gable the references for these two views are awalk that I did from Buttermere and the top image coming across the Gables view from Seathwaite,  I've had many pleasant walks and some climbs up and around this fell, its a special place from all the angles you view it from, whether that's up from Ennerdale or from Wasdale the most daunting views are Great End or Kirk Fell when your doing the Wasdale round. This is a less tiring viewpoint from Seathwaite Fell which for the painter or poet offers solitude, good rocks to rest your back against and nice turf on which to sit and draw all the great views of the wonderful peaks all around.
