‘Old Calico Works Chimney in Edgworth’

This is another of my coloured pen and ink sketches done from a photograph I took. It was a beautiful autumn day and because of this, I wanted to inject a feeling of that by using warm ink tones in the painting. Though if you compare others in this section, you will see this one is quite ‘toned down‘ to the vivid and vibrant nature of the others. As you can see I took the photograph from a high vantage point looking down and across the valley. The old, now disused chimney, formerly connected to Quarlton Vale Print and Bleachworks, has always looked somewhat out of place, as it just looms up in the middle of a field. Apparently when it was a working mill, further down in the valley, the chimney was connected via a flue for the best air flow to carry emissions away high above the hills. The scenery around Edgworth is very pretty with rolling hills and little stone cottages dotted here and there on the outskirts of the main village.

Landscape Oil painting – The Last Drop Village, Bolton

Sunshine and Shadows at The Last Drop Village

As well as the Walmsley Church Oil painting on previous page of landscapes I managed to capture this sunlit and shadow scene the same day on camera. Which I transferred onto canvas in oil paint. Oil paint and pastel are my favourite mediums to work with, as they both give the perfect expression I’m looking to achieve. Here the oil paint captures crisply, with true tones, the clarity of the day and its shadows. Whilst, pastel I feel, lends itself perfectly to the softness of animal portraits. That’s my opinion anyway!

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.
