Description
Gowbarrow Ullswater Lake District Picture
Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District, being about 7 miles long , with a maximum depth a little over 60 metres. It was scooped out by a glacier in the Last Ice Age. The lake has been a tourist destination since the mid-18th century. By the 1890s, Ullswater had become a fashionable holiday destination for the British aristocracy, thanks to its good sailing conditions and proximity to fell shooting estates.
My style of painting is one which has developed over time and is still evolving with each new painting. And I try to capture a sense of realism of being there, without being a slave to photo realism. Its also important to keep pushing the boundaries of what your comfortable with, not to settle into a formula of what works.
