I'm really enjoying painting these panoramic landscapes. For me, this format seems to convey distance and a sense of 'being there' - especially in such vast open landscapes such as Northumberland (U.K.).
This is a view over the fields to the Cheviot hills, five minutes walk from my parents home. I painted it in watercolour with a touch of white gouache for the falling snow.

You have used the panaramic format well to convey what England feels like especially in these more remote areas: low, heavy skies but the land stretching out endlessly in all directions. I can feel the coldness in this one.
Thanks Sheila. I really enjoy being in these expansive landscapes. And cold it definitely was! Bitterly.
