'Haworth Moor'

great colour and techinque!

Been to Haworth many times and walked ont he moors there 'in the steps of the Brontes' - this is a very dramatic composition, well done Martin!

Whatever the surface it's on, it's a powerful painting. And on the subject of that surface - you used to be able to buy primed hardboard (from Winsor & Newton?), using the rough side: haven't seen those boards for years.... (You can do it yourself, of course.) They did take the paint well, snag was they warped quite badly if not framed (were fine if they were framed) and were a bit vulnerable to crumbling around the edges (although framing, again, resolves that). There was a fear about fumes leaching acid into the paint over time: but PROPERLY primed, that shouldn't be a problem. The advice always was to sand down the smooth side, maybe treat it with meths, then prime it: I've done that, and used the rough side - on the whole, I prefer the latter.

Dramatic, atmospheric and wonderful. I've never been to this place Martin but your painting makes me want to, especially if it's on a day like this.

As Robert said...A powerful painting. Very impressed by it.

interesting use of colour-strong ,bold, different, clever.
