Luddenden House Portrait

Since moving to Halifax just over a year ago, I've worked on a lot of commissions
from the Yorkshire area which I would not have done had I not moved. This is one
such commission. Not far from my studio, this location is Luddenden which is a
particularly picturesque village just outside Halifax. This house is situated on
quite a steep hill with spectacular views - partly visible to the left of the house
in the painting. I worked on this painting in my studio from a photograph which I
took earlier in the year. It took a couple of visits to get the best photo to ensure
that the lighting was just right. The very distinctive stone, has a completely
different appearance with direct sunlight on it and I wanted to make sure I captured
this. Very satisfied with the finished result here.
