Simonside in Spring- Rothbury June lace like foam drift onto

lace like foam drift onto the shore beneath an expansive sky

It is an early morning view of Bamburgh Castle seeming to float like a beautiful mirage

The Long and Winding Way- Hadrian's Wall

Ever since childhood

This adolescent young man is wearing a white tunic with dark red clavi or vertical band visible on his right shoulder

Simonside in Spring- Rothbury June lace like foam drift ontoThis painting, "Simonside in Spring Rothbury" is of the slopes of Simonside at Easter time, when the distant fields begin to fill with early wheat and the hares perform their gymnastic mating dances. The trees are covered in pale pink and orange buds, ready to burst into bright blossom or fresh green leaves. It's a time of re awakenings, with the iconic skyline of Simonside as a backdrop. It would make a great companion piece to my other painting
