I'll be nipping up the motorway to take some photos of this waterfall and gorge, Ian. I think your painting is marvellous, reminding me of Turner's Gordale Scar. I've always enjoyed limestone country and the rich and unusual formations it presents. Great work. Brian

Oil on Board 10" x 8". I have been meaning to paint this view again for such a long time, in fact a number of passers-by pop their heads in to the gallery with this view in mind, and having given (!) the last painting of Catrigg away I thought it high time I renewed this. This was painted after a stroll to my favourite place during what was known as the 'Beast from the East', not so great for the motorist, but excellent for the Landscape painter looking for a new twist on an old scene. I painted this on a black ground - something I have never done before, but something I will repeat, as the results in my opinion, are great.
