The Lakeland 214

Introducing a new series of limited edition prints:

 Even though I am still involved with the completion of The Wainwrights in Colour project, this new line of limited edition prints is here to fulfil requests for prints of my watercolours of the Lakeland Fells. The need to proceed with this work came about by a friend who was completing her 214 "Wainwright" round recently and I was asked to supply a couple of images to celebrate the event. Consequently the first sample of this series have been produced to test the water and see if the demand for such work is there. The first two paintings are of Castle Crag and Lingmoor Fell, a bit of an odd combination but they just happen to be the first and last fells completed by my friend.

 Each of these paintings will represent a view of all of the 214 Lakeland Fells as listed in Wainwright's Pictorial Guides. The scenes will be brand new aspects of the fells and not those produced for the Wainwright's in Colour.They are being reproduced as a limited edition of only 75 copies and they are all signed and numbered by myself. They measure 155mm x 120mm and come mounted to a size of 305mm x 280mm and each print has its own certificate of authenticity. The idea is to make them available at a reasonable price so that they can be given as gifts to those who love the fells or just certain ones in particular.

Being small they will be ideal either as individual prints or they could be hung together in a group. I also envisage that selected prints could be mounted as a montage to group together a range of fells such as popular walking routes i.e The Fairfield Horseshoe or a classic range such as The High Stile ridge. These would make really special mementos of days out on the fells. As an example, I framed up these two prints to show how they could be presented as a commemorative gift complete with descriptive title.

The potential is quite wide to make these prints into wonderful keepsakes for all fellwalkers.

keep an eye out on this blog or the website or Facebook for updates on progress.

As a guide, individual mounted prints will retail at £18 + P&P. There will be a scale of prices for a selection of prints in frames.

In the meantime I will continue on to complete the Wainwright's in Colour project and fit in more of these sketches as and when I have time.

Do contact me if you have an interest in any particular fells.
