Road to Thixendale Path, Yorkshire Wolds.

iPad sketch
 Animated video showing it being drawn.

What a day. I helped a shepherd rescue a lamb which had got out onto Bailey Road. Yesterday another one was loose and on the road at Lund Moor Farm!!...Then, after stopping several times to check for views to paint I ended up here, I thought it should be called Fotherdale, actually not, it is Thixen Dale. The road leads to the dew pond, at the moment full of newts, where, opposite the pond, the Thixendale valley walk can be taken. Past the pond the area is, in fact Fotherdale. This is an iPad sketch, with these I hope that fellow artists or art faculties at schools perhaps, could use them to make their own painting. The video is short but can be stopped or paused to help see the stages more clearly, and indeed copied. This was one of two sketches done on the day. The next one was in fact, a 3x2 feet painting which was done from the road to Martinholme Farm, above Thixendale.....more later.

PS…..Yesterday I was watching swallows …swallows!! My first of the year at Lund Moor.
