Spring delayed

Two new paintings- both developed from my sketching trip to the South Pennines in March. The temperature was mild but rain was rarely far away and the wind on the tops made for arduous walking.

Spring certainly seemed close, but perhaps further away on the high exposed open moorland.

I’m still working from the photographs and sketches I took on that trip- and here are two from the margins of moorland villages.
