Skipton - Canal

Brilliant painting..

Super painting of the canal and the barge and great movement in the water as well

When I worked in Skipton many, many moons ago, I think that the white building at the far side of the bridge was a butchers shop (Stanforths?). Their meat pies were succulent, mouthwatering delicacies. Happy days! Thanks for generating the memory. Great painting too.

Thanks for your comments. Denis, I know the pork pie shop well and have to agree with you...

Lovely work once again Ian. I was on a watercolour workshop near Kettlewell at the start of the lovely weather and past through Skipton. The tutor was very keen on painting outdoors and no drawing with a penci! I've been trying to put that into practice since but now the weathers changed! I could just do with one of Denis's pork pies!

Beautiful little scene and nicely painted. There is nothing wrong with using a photograph as a source, it's how you interpret it that matters.
