Cragside, Northumberland   Oils on box canvas  8 x 8 inches

A memory of an enjoyable weekend up north many years ago.

Cragside is set in forest and is a magical place.

This lake is at the entrance to the house.

Studio Musings...

In my continuing forage amongst my studio treasures I came across this little canvas.

There was an existing picture but I loaded my brush with leftover paint and began to scrub. 

  I added a soft yellow top corner and a smudge of pale blue at the bottom.

It seemed to be 'morphing' into a landscape with a lake.

 A white highlight was brushed quickly across what appeared to be water.

I stepped back to view, then placed a final small dab of sky colour on the lake.

It reminds me of Cragside.  Enough said.
