Ticking off the Fells

  It seems a while since I had a good day out on the Lake District Fells, something which I hope to put right in the next few days. The lack of walking is purely down to the fact that I have been so busy in the studio getting work done for the Wainwrights in Colour project. The fells are now getting completed at a reasonable rate with a good "first time" success on most of the sketches, seldom do they get scrapped and put in the bin.

However, one or two sketches have caused some problems like this one below of Arnison Crag. For no particular reason the first two attempts at this scene I just wasn't happy with but fortunately the third go came out right so now it is framed with the other sketches for this fell and is just awaiting collection by the customer.
