Large square 100cm x 100cm canvas, trying to build up the mixed media texture, but using the acrylic paint in a loose manner. The image was inspired by the peach colours in distant clouds as the sun sets, but all seen through the arch of a spring shower over Higgar Tor.

Acrylic and mixed media on 150cm x 100cm canvas. Big grey and pink sky, deep shadows, moorland  holding small pools of water. The sense of distance in the landscape seems more expansive in the soft light.

Clearing Spring Mist, Over Higgar Tor 100cm x 100cm Oil painting, mixed media, canvas.

It has taken many hours of work to complete this  oil and mixed media 150cm x 100cm canvas painting. It was inspired by a short, sharp, shower I experienced one evening, on Stanage Edge at the beginning of the month. The sun shone brightly through the veil of rain as it progressed along the Edge, creating a glowing wall of falling water.Trying to interpret the moment was achieved mainly from my memory of the experience.
