Solitude


This is a place in Cumbria, England called Grange Over Sands. The photo below is courtesy of a cousin. I liked the peaceful scene but wanted to change the colors to create a more atmospheric feeling to the place. Hope I achieved this. Artistic license is a liberating feeling.

    1. Thank you Lorraine. It's fun to try colors other than what is in the landscape.

  3. I went to Grange over Sands as a child and got stuck in the sinking sand there, I went in up to my waist and had to be pulled out by a sort of human chain!! Lovely painting btw!!
