Perfect painting weather





Four days of super sunny weather.
Autumn colours bursting with sparkle
Reflections barely moving, until a duck swims peacefully by.
Fresh mountain air and  clear brilliant Blue skies
A paint brush in hand and bright primary colours at the ready
Herdwicks smiling, a kingfisher singing  swiftly by and many Robins taking a peak.
The Glenthorne nestled and embraced by the Autumn glow
Cold mornings of frost warming the soft mist magically into sunshine days.
A perfect end to a wonderful year of courses and workshops
Thank you to all the inspiring wonderful artists , old friends and new, that all  make painting in the Lake District such a great experience.
Next year's courses are starting to fill, if you fancy coming along
www.lakelandartcourses.co.uk has the dates and more information

Loughrigg Fell, Grasmere

Another super duper day in painting at Grasmere. 
Sunlight dappled on  Autumn leaves, reflections that were just mirror perfect, 
it really was picture postcard material.

Sunlight and long shadows on Loughrigg Fell, rich shades of Bracken and Autumn trees 
l with afternoon sunshine. The pastels came out and for an hour 
I tried to capture what inspired me
