Autumn Light, Grasmere

Painting beside Grasmere Lake in warm sunshine was a pure joy today. With not a hint of a breeze, perfect reflections stayed in place, while we happily mixed warm Autumnal shades. With Hot chocolate served in the tea garden, it really could not get much better. 

With the smell of a bonfire and a more subdued atmospheric scene, even the Ducks were chilled and enjoying the afternoon sunshine

Painting at Grasmere

I've been painting this on and off all week, it started on Tuesday, I was a bit lost and not sure where I was going, then it started coming together on Wednesday with the trees in the middle distance, the boats sailed in on Thursday and a few hours today was painting ripples. I kept to a pretty small pallette Cobalt Blue is still flavour of the month Winsor Yellow and I tried a new colour, Magnesium Brown instead of Burnt Sienna, It mixed some nice darks and also some earthy greens. I've painted here beside the 'Tea Garden' many times usually with a Hot Chocolate with ginger in to keep me inspired and warm! It really is a beautiful tranquil spot and this is what I wanted to come across in the painting.
