A landscape painting looking towards Darfield from
the Dearne Valley bypass near Cathill roundabout.
To the right of this scene, out of view is the Old Moor
Wetland Centre now owned by the RSPB (Royal Society
for the Protection of Birds), landscaped from old coal
mining works and considered to be one of the best nature
reserves in Britain. Coal mining, once the backbone of
local industry is now all but a thing of the past.
I see this landscape on my way home from work each
day and the blue sky and sun-bleached grass represent
the height of summer.
The acrylic paint is applied quite thickly with a buttery
consistency. The heavy brushstrokes form part of the
texture and character of this small piece of landscape art.
