Romantic bridge in the Lake District

This oil painting was done for my nephew and his wife for their Wedding present. It was ‘Their Bridge’ where he proposed to her. I first did them a picture in pen and ink (which is also on this site) but also wanted to try out a recent technique I had been using to paint in oils. Quite simply, I got a cereal box and ripped it into thin strips, squeezed out some oil paints onto a pallet, and painted!  No brushes or pallet knives were used in the making of this picture! And the whole picture which is only approx 14″ x 10″ was done in less than two hours, though it did take almost three months to dry!!!
