Oil Paintings of Pendle Lancashire witches country

| Two country Lane views Rimington and Twiston Pendle, Lancashire, UK Oil on paper 25 cm x18 cm |
These two Ribble Valley paintings are both views of the quiet country lanes below Pendle Hill and to its North West, the top one is a view from Twiston Lane and the lower painted earlier in the day is a view along Rimington Lane. The day was overcast with the kind of silver mist that you get around Pendles bulky shadow, I thought that I'd work in oil on paper which is a departure from my normal practice, the paint is applied loosely well mixed and watered with turps substitute. I'm glad I made the change to oil on paper as I found it a delight to paint with and much easier than watercolour.
Incidentally can anyone tell me why Pendle is given Hill as a descriptor when all around we have fells and moors? A free small sketch of the above scene for the correct answer which as yet I honestly don't know so I suppose you could tell me anything.
Finally if your interested I will be doing a workshop on this form of painting oil and pencil on paper in February from my studio in Bolton please contact me. Rob
