Superb watercolour David. And an unusual request that must be very satisfying for you.

Super watercolour David.

Beautifully painting and it’s great that your photo can be used to hopefully rebuild .

Lovely feeling of light here David, those dark shadows across the road really stand out. A Huddersfield artist I like, Paul Talbot Greaves, uses light to good effect in his lovely paintings of the Pennines region. I think you would like his work online.

Many thanks to you all, your encouraging comments are a bonus. Stephen, I've been on one of Paul's Yorkshire painting weekends and have booked him for art group demos several times. A brilliant artist and a really genuine guy, I just wish I had his mastery of dry stone walls.

A lovely painting.

How lovely to have a story to the painting. And a lovely painting it is! A perfect pure watercolour, and good perspective attained with all the features. I think the stone walls are actually very good.

A lady saw my painting on the internet and contacted me this week to ask if I had a reference photo of the same view. They have been refused planning permission for renovating the old barn and my picture apparently supports their case by showing a critical feature which existed when I took my photos in 2013. I’ve sent them my photos and find it really satisfying when a painting serves an unexpected purpose.

About the Artist

David Whitehead

I have always loved the British landscape – walking in it, photographing it and, since early retirement, painting it in watercolour. I prefer to paint in the field and have experienced all the difficulties the British weather can present to a painter, from the sun drying the paint on the brush to…
