A first for me too, never seen one before Emma, it’s beautifully painted.

The texture you’ve created on those rocks is excellent, I want to reach out and touch them.

The geology of upper Teesdale allows a wide variety of rare and beautiful wildflowers to thrive. This primrose grows on the outcroppings of limestone rocks near Low Force. Watercolour on HP paper; cobalt blue, permanent mauve, opera rose, aureolin.
