While in this lovely area, I went out with a proper artist, and we managed to find two fine days to paint on the spot.

I am still recovering from painting this one!!!! It kept raining so I kept picking up the seat easel and running to shelter, however, one of the times I tripped, fortunately a chair broke my fall, or I probably would have hit my head on a wall. But boy did I hurt my hand, and my knee. Should have painted the bruise, it was large and full of rich colours! It is the view from Allan Bank, a small National Trust property on a hill overlooking the lake at Grasmere. Wordsworth once lived there. |

Sizergh Castle Near Kendal. A lovely spot with beautiful sloping gardens. I felt I ruined this, as at the last minute I decided to darken the water. Anyway it was a lovely spot and I enjoyed myself.
Have a wonderful weekend to one and all. |
