Hammers Dale from Nunburnholme Road. 40x30 oil on stretch canvas.

I had a large, 40 x30 stretched canvas and my mind turned to the area along Loaningdale Road near Nunburnholme Wold. I thought that a painting could be done which included the distant Kipling Cotes finishing post as well as the wonderfully picturesque Hammers Dale. So off George and I went. It was a quiet, idyllic day for painting, warm, clear air and no wind. I made good progress painting on the Michael Harding acrylic ground I had applied to the canvas
