Many thanks for the comments Heather, Dawn and Carole. It was always going to be the choice of colors that set this one apart.

Apart from the stunning combination of colours Stevan this has a gloriously mystery about it. I think it’s the impression of mist and twilight. Very striking!

Thanks Fionna, this idea started with 4" X 4" miniatures that worked well and I decided to go for a bigger format so this one is 10" X 10". It's different to my usual style but I'm well chuffed with the result. Regards Steve

A subject that is all over Britain in exposed areas and not least in the Pennines and dales near where I live. The back lighting gives a silhouette and the whole combination , in my view, says 'last light of day'
