This is the valley between Kempswithen (the hill on the left) and Commondale (the village is to the right of the picture), in August. I love that view. I pass it on the way back from Westerdale. I wasn’t quite sure what this area was called, until a friend of mine saw this painting, it turns out he grew up in that valley… My working title was “Loving Ling”.

I was commissioned to do a watercolour of St Joseph & St Cuthberts’ church. I did the one above, then finding the scale a bit too small to portray the statues, painted another one (below). He liked them both!
