Feeling frosty

Judging by the rain today, I don't think we'll get as many icicles this winter.

Or any geese skating on ice in March like the photo below, taken at Bolam Lake, Northumberland.

The Light at the End of the Path

Tyne Bridge and Cityscape

A slightly unusual view of the Tyne Bridge, looking across to the Castle Keep where Newcastle got it's name from the new castle which William the Conqueror's son Robert Curthose built in 1080. It was originally a motte and bailey but was rebuilt in stone during the reign of Henry II, between 1168 and 1178.

I decided to keep the bridge fairly simple as it is a frame for the buildings below and I'm pleased with the end result.

When I've painted in the past, my husband always said it would be interesting to document the progress of the work. So for this one I have.

                                    

I'd love to hear what you think about Tyne Bridge and Cityscape! Thanks for looking.

An autumnal walk

I took this photo on a walk through the lovely quarry garden at Belsay Hall in Northumberland. I was searching for autumn colour before it all dropped off the trees and I like the fact that there is still the lush green foliage of the ferns. Autumn really is hanging on until the last minute this year!
