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.
