Beautiful piece of countryside Ian. I love the sun shining on that distant hill, smashing painting.

This is so beautiful Ian, some wonderful countryside here.

A lovely scene Ian, wonderfully painted

Oil on Board 8" x 10". The painting is painted on a precut 8" x 10" mdf panel, gessoed up (3 coats) and sanded down. I have used a number of different grounds with linen canvas, canvas boards and wooden panels, so far (at this point in time) this is the most appealing ground to use partly because I am lazy, and partly because I am tight. Painted in the height of spring the seasonal touch is reflected in the greenery of the vegetation in this boggy pasture overlooking the village of Stainforth. The view to the west is of Smearsett Scar, a lovely knobble of a hill which is a focal point on the limestone massif to the west of Stainforth, although not particularly high (enough for me!) it certainly has character and is fairly recognisable to those who know the dale.
