Introducing Seatoller Mist and Sedge Grass I 2023
Seatoller Mist and Sedge Grass 1 was drawn from sketches and reference pictures during a rainy day in the Lake District. This piece is a testament to the beauty and serenity found in this region, highlighting the common yet captivating sedge grass amidst the mist and rain. My wife and good friend where climbing a small section of the mountain, I was sheltering from the battering rain, I observed the scene outside our motorhome and felt compelled to capture its. Seatoller, a starting point for the our favourite route up Scafell, England’s tallest mountain, providing the perfect backdrop for my sketches. The mountains in the background are faintly visible, but it is the sedge grass in the foreground that steals the show. This grass, a staple in the wetter areas of the Lake District, adds a touch of realism and authenticity to the piece.
I wanted to capture the wetness of the day, the wind and the rain, the type that left one soaked in moments of venturing out in it. It was fun to do, and seems to capture the rain better than my sketches.
Drawn with home made willow charcoal on Cartridge paper. Image size is 26cm x 38cm and the overall size including the frame is 44.5cm x 60cm.
