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.
