Rossendale Winter 2010 Up on Cowpe 24 inches x 48" Oil on Board |
"A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE"
Up on Cowpe this time, last year were I got the inspiration to paint the winter ridge painting Rossendale Winter; it was like Siberia with shards of ice underfoot and bitterly cold on the frozen, flooded bog , skating under swirling snow clouds; we walked towards an horizon marked by the sulphur yellow of Manchester; this year if we did the same walk we would be knee deep in bog, and Manchester would be hidden by a wall of fog; sadly there is no snow forecast for the west Pennines this Christmas instead we have a sleety rain; Christmas will be a damp affair under leaden skies so time will be spent by the the Christmas tree before we walk to the Inn for Christmas dinner , quaff wine and ale, eat mince pies and make merry.....
best wishes
Rob

A new project on the go:-
I'm actually going to do something with all the drawings and watercolours from my frequent walks around this area and Tockholes. What that is I am not sure but it will be about the process of drawing and watercolours so it will be based on paper.

Beach Isle of Skye 60 cm x 60 cm Acrylic on canvas |
Breaking weather' is the title of my second series of Western Isles paintings, this series finds me on the beaches of a number of islands but mostly around Lewis Uist and Skye; the breaking weather caused by a new frontal weather system moving in over the Atlantic brings an Andalusia sparkle to the white sands and clear seas.
