Stockley Bridge, Seathwaite

Last year my Magnolia started to flower on 1st April, today is 22nd and there are still lots of tight little buds.

Couldn't resist this Geranium on the market today, reminds me of Italy!

Having another go with the Daler Rowney Acrylics, I love them! They don't dry too  fast, nice and juicy and the colours dry nice and bright.

Stockley Bridge in Seathwaite, I've had a bit of a fascination about this bridge, it's a about 30 minutes walk up one of the most dramatic valleys in Cumbria  from the car. I've spent numerous days sketching sat in the middle of  the gushing river, other days trying to catch the light before it disappears for the day. My method of madness here is working complementary colours as a base!
 I've not finished yet, but pleased with how it's coming on.
