The Golden Hour from The Old Man of Coniston

The Golden Hour from The Old Man of ConistonAn original en plein air gouache painting from the summit of The Old Man of Coniston Pike in the Lake District. The view was incredible, and I had to work quickly to capture the light of the golden hour hitting the peaks beyond the Low Water tarn. Unframed size 21 cm (H) x 13 cm (W) (approx 8 x 5 inches). This artwork is only available unframed. Additional information: This original artwork was painted on Acid free Moleskine Paper using high quality

An original oil painting of one of the highest points in England

and also the various reflected lights in the metal parts of the tube

and the beginnings of a bare root rose

The play of shadows on the green grass and the playful ducks near a local pond made this a memorable scene after a long winter

along with the beautiful violet sky

where a natural composition was created with iceberg roses climbing upwards and framed against the limpid blue sky

The beauty and fragrance of the just-fading flower

with bright patches of light striking the distant fields

A vivid wintertime sunset near the village of Asthall in Oxfordshire became the basis of this oil painting

and I had to work quickly to capture the light of the golden hour hitting the peaks beyond the Low Water tarn

Additional information: Painted on Linen canvas board
