The lakeland 214 update

 As and when I can I fit in some of the small sketches for The Lakeland 214 series of prints. They are proving really quite popular and the list of subjects is growing rather long. I appreciate your patience as I progress with both The Wainwrights in Colour and this project. The first takes priority of course.
 As I mentioned a while ago, when the website is updated the 214 series of prints will have their own section where you will be able to order prints directly. In the meantime just email me for more information.

High Spy..with my little eye

 High Spy is one of those fells which walkers usually do as part of a route rather than a direct ascent. It is in the North Western Fells and has great views in most directions.
The summit Cairn.
One of the more distinctive cairns that mark a fell top in fact it is in better condition now than it was in AW's day.

The Crags.
 

Goat Crag.
This was a reference which I actually forgot to take on a previous visit to Castle Crag so it meant a return visit on a very wet and misty day. This meant that the two Pine trees really contrast with the far fell.

High Spy complete.
All nicely balanced when  seen fully framed.

Website re-vamp

 Those of you who also have an interest in my Andy Beck Images (photography) website and blog will have perhaps seen my post regarding a re-working of my websites. I have been frustrated recently by the issues of uploading photographs and sketches on the website. It would take me quite some time to resolve the issue so instead I have been looking at another method of publishing a website. This may be a Wordpress based website but it is something I an currently looking into. As you may realise, I have more than one string to my bow and understand that some viewers may be interested in my artwork and not my photography and vice versa. I also get quite a few questions about my walking routes either here in Teesdale or onto the Lakeland Fells so this is also something I would like to make easier to find on any new site.
 Lots to think about and quite a bit of research is needed first. Please bear with me as I try to provide the best website for all.
