It was a summer's day when I visited Swaledale - drizzly but warm and bright, and brightened by fields of buttercups between the dry stone walls - so typical of the Yorkshire Dales. This scene is at the Richmond end of the dale, somewhere near Reeth if my memory serves me right. I've painted this in oil on a 12 x 12 inch board based on a photo I took that day, several years ago now.

Looking east along the dale from beside the road just north of Thwaite, Yorkshire Dales.

I love the landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, and none more so than this view of the upper reaches of Swaledale between Muker and Keld. I passed this spot walking Wainwrights coast to coast (East to West) some year back but only now based a painting on the view. I've painted it in oil on a 12x12 inch board.

A curious flock of Swaledale Sheep roaming free on the edge of Snowhope Moor close to the Weardale town of Stanhope in the North Pennines area of County Durham. I wonder what they were thinking ?
