Bag yourself a Wainwright

This isn't something I have done before but as I am having issues with uploading data onto the current website I thought that a blog post would keep you up to date.
 Here in the studio I have a selection of Wainwright in Colour completed fells. They a fully complete and ready for purchase. Even though I have not completed all the fells yet for the whole project these few are now looking for good homes. Most of them have previously been ordered by customers but for one reason or another the transactions were not completed. Consequently they are now up for sale on a first come first served basis. Remember that there are actually very few of the Wainwrights in Colour unsold so this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the fells from this unique project. They are one off originals and no copies or prints will be made of any of the sketches. The only other way to see these works at close hand is when the Wainwrights in Colour book is published.
 So have a look and if you would like more information or perhaps purchase one of the fells then just send me an email to: info@theteesdalegallery.co.uk

Burnbank Fell- Western Fells
5 sketches, frame size 42cm x 59cm £425
What makes this fell so special is the fact that in the revised version of the Pictorial Guide there are now only 2 sketches, the other three have been omitted.
 

Thornthwaite Crag- Far Eastern Fells
7 sketches, frame size 55cm x 79cm £730
Possibly the finest summit beacon or cairn of all the 214 fells. Thornthwaite Crag perhaps has an important claim to fame in that it was very likely the first ever of the 214 fells which Wainwright ever climbed, the day after his visit to Orrest Head in June 1930.
 

Green Gable- Western Fells
5 sketches, frame size 40cm x 71cm. £460
This fell was sold but the client swapped it for another fell which became available. One of those fells which walkers usually visit en-route to the mightier Great Gable. The sketch of the summit includes a view of Pillar.

Graystones- The North Western Fells
6 sketches, frame size 60cm x 51cm, £510
One of the fells north of the Whinlatter Pass. Usually done as part of the round which also includes Broom Fell and Lord's Seat.

Hartsop Dodd- Far Eastern Fells
4 sketches, frame size 56cm x 74cm, £555
Even though it is only 4 sketches it is unique in that 3 of them are full page size in the Pictorial Guide. The sketch on the left is of Dovedale with the similar snow conditions on the fells as in AW's drawing.

Hindscarth- The North Western Fells
9 sketches, frame size 60cm x 74cm, £760
One of the fells encountered in the Newlands round. Two summit cairns, mine entrances ad even a little church give this fell lots of variety in the paintings.
 
Do remember that these are one off paintings and some of the very few which are left for sale. I can email images of all the sketches to potential customers so that you can view them in detail before purchase. Contact me for more information: info@theteesdalegallery.co.uk
