While producing the above oil painting, which was a wonderful warm spring day, outside the studio it's freezing cold and light snow falling...
This is the finished painting which was shown at the draw up stage a few post ago. The small stream provides some nice lines leading into the painting, with as mentioned before, the Crinkle Crags as the backdrop with Pike of Blisco behind the large tree. The slope, known as 'The Band', that rises from the central darker group of trees and heads towards the top right hand corner is one of the main walking routes up to Bowfell and starts from Stool End Farm in the valley floor... that is unless you want to do the full round which starts up with almost walking up rear side of Pike of Blisco and then along the top of Crinkle Crags before heading up to Bowfell...
Onto the next one...
