The Limestone Way, Monyash (Original Watercolour)

Description

Monyash is a small village nestling right in the very heart of the Peak District. For me, it always had two significant things about it; one was that the village pub used to be called ‘The Hobbit’; the other is that The Limestone Way – a 46-mile long-distance footpath, from Ashbourne to Castleton – passes through it.

On this occasion, my wife and I were stopping on a campsite just outside the village, and we walked down this lane on our way towards Lathkill Dale. It was mid-summer and we were partiicuarly taken by the large numbers of yellow wild flowers on display in all of the surrounding fields.

This painting was produced while exhibiting and demonstrating at Art in the Gardens, in Sheffield Botanical Gardens, in September 2022.

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