St Sunday Crag, From Grisedale (Original Watercolour)

Description

One of the challenges of painting mountains is that of conveying scale. This scene addressed that challenge by providing me with an interesting collection of trees in the valley, and a series of field boundaries that help to reinforce the differences between cultivated land and the wild higher slopes. Grisedale is always a pleasure to walk through, flanked by hills that help to put things into perspective; in other words, we’re very small in the overall, grand scheme of things.

St Sunday Crag is the large, distinctively-shaped summit, while the hills to the right are the lower slopes of Helvellyn.

This painting was produced while exhibiting and demonstrating at Art in the Pen (Skipton), in August 2023.

This painting is supplied unframed, and will be dispatched in protective packaging with rigid backing panel, ready to take to a framer.
