West Yorkshire Landscape

This painting is a view from a farm in Golcar, near Huddersfield. I was
delighted when it was commissioned as it is a subject matter that I would
naturally choose to paint myself. I particularly like the way that
distance can be portrayed through watercolour. Using a more transparent
wash can give the impression of distance really effectively. I also like
the contrast than can be achieved between parts of buildings which have
direct sunlight compared to those parts in the shade.

As I have traveled throughout West Yorkshire, I have built up a large
collection of great images which I will work up into paintings in the near 
future.
