Another most enjoyable Commission of the Bowland Forest, this time in South West Bowland looking across the fields from near the Bleasedale Stone Circle, past Higher Fair Snape Farm, Fosters wood and onto the summit and Nicks Chair between Fair Snape and Parlic. It is very old Lancashire round these parts and I imagion that Nick Chair was the devils seat, it being a flat rock which gives a perfect view across the Lancashire plain..  I started the painting during the late gold of winter, then gale force winds and snow. I finally completed when the first flush of spring resounded to the curlews wild and lonely call and Bowland was at its best.
