Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"
As you follow the Longdendale trail up past Torside reservoir there is a signpost pointing across the reservoir chain via a bridge to Crowden. Part of the track is wooded with pine trees. It is not a big area but it is mysterious and a bit magical.

Love the sense of heightened giddy drunken reality, sort of hits you smack in the face. Brilliant.
Thanks Simon, great comment much appreciated (actually there was a slight spookiness to that short path through the woods - maybe I was trying to get out quickly, hence the giddiness (don't think it was the gin & tonic at lunch time) )
Sheila, I am crazy about both these pathway paintings -- this one especially with its beautiful rendering of the sunlight. Truly beautiful, I'm in awe!
Thank you Camille. Really appreciate your comments.
What color palette do you use?
This is magnificent Sheila,
Just gorgeous.
Take care,
Barbara
(I put you back on my blog list, because I finally remembered the name of your blog -- sorry about losing it. We were redesigning my blog, and I lost my whole list!)
Karl - mostly earth colours - raw and burnt umber; raw and burnt sienna; indian red; cerulean and ultramarine for the blues. I do supplement occasionally. Maybe in this one I used a little mars yellow or aureolin yellow, I don't remember. I try to stay away from the cadmiums.
Thank you Barbara, kind of you to say so.
Love the dappled light! Jeanne
Thank you Jeanne, nice to see you here.
