All Saints Church in the South Yorkshire ex-mining village of
Darfield, near Barnsley. A small Impressionism Style Acrylic
Landscape Painting.
The 100 feet tall tower of the Anglican Parish Church, can be
seen rising above the trees. The Acrylic Paint is applied quite
thickly and dryly using a cheap, coarse hog's hair brush in an
Impressionist Style.
The purple colours used in the road are reflected in the trees and
in the Darfield Church tower, and the stone colour of the sunlit
tower is also repeated in the road to give a unity to the Painting.
Darfield Fact:
The word Darfield comes from the two words, Dere, meaning Deer
and Field meaning area of pasture land.
