I've been having fun on a virtual holiday escaping lockdown again. This time I've been recalling time spent in Northumberland a few years ago. While there we sailed to the Farne Islands, which is supported by the National Trust, to see the puffins, other sea birds and seals. Well worth a visit, as is Bamburgh Castle, at top of the painting. We hope to return again when circumstances allow to visit the Longstone Lighthouse. As usual, the painting began with a few scribbles in a sketchbook, to remind myself of the subject and roughly work out a composition.
Then fun with paint on the easel.
First a background.
Archival quality prints in two sizes are now available from my Etsy shop. More information about my work at www.beeskelton.com.
