‘Cycling in Macclesfield’

This is a friend of my Daughter cycling his way through the Macclesfield countryside. I have also painted this picture, again in watercolour, with a created imaginary snowy scene! (See ‘Cycling in Snowy Macclesfield’ – also in Landscapes)

Walkers in Bolton ALWAYS recognise this section of Entwistle Reservoir which I titled – ‘Going Round The Bend’

Of the series of Oil paintings I did of Entwistle Reservoir in Lancashire, this has always been my favourite. When I have had exhibitions in Bolton there are always many people who come up to me and say, “I know exactly where that bend is, I’ve walked it many times!” Who would have thought a simple bend would be so distinctive?! Another reason this is my favourite, is how the light and shadows played out giving the whole picture quite a realistic feel.
