Full of atmosphere - has a Victorian look to it (and I mean that in the best possible way..); warm, evocative.

super watercolour, captures saddleworth in the rain perfectly, not a place you want your car to break down for sure!!

Glorious example of how to do watercolour. I'm green with envy. Wish I could paint like this.

Beautifully painted and such a wonderful part of the country I love it there, you have done it justice.

wonderful watercolour Your sky is magnificant

This is excellent Chris, very atmospheric. Reminds me of many days out on the moors.

Dear ChrisBendall, Thankyou for your comment on my painting.Winter light moel y gest. This is much appreciated and from such an accomplished watercolourist-you manage to get such beautiful light in your paintings-what talent!watercolour in my view is one of the hardest mediums to master.

This view is from all but 10 paces from the A635 North East of Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine Country!) where there is a convenient place to pull over. To the left of the scene are the beginings of Saddleworth Moor. I had to abandon my first attempt on the back of this painting as the heavens opened the momment I started to mix the sky color, resulting in the usual spotting and splattering over the paper. I completed a second attempt under the shelter of the opened boot lid of or car. Though there is still evidence of the rain in the top right corner. Thank heavens for heavy weight paper! The weather about half an hour after starting the second time was no more than a clear blue sky! such is so in the pennines! Saunders Waterford 300lb Rough Paper
