Great Dug Dale and Warter Church.

I am above the Golden Valley, north of Warter. Activity nearby relating to the Warter Estate caused me to pause as access was needed near the spot I had chosen to paint from. People carrying red flags, spaniels and labradors were gathered ready to work the land. The weather improved as I waited and the rain was replaced by sun. This lit up the fields south of Warter. I recognised Great Dug Dale and how intermittent sun highlighted the flanks of the valley. The people and dogs disappeared yet a walkie-talkie could still be heard. I waited a little longer and decided to paint. I soon realised a particular frustration, I could not undo the cap of my titanium white. So this was hurriedly finished at home where access to pliers solved the problem. The spire of Warter church helps to locate the spot and I might return again…. With pliers.
