A morning of fulfilled expectations and serene calmness when every brushstroke brings untold joy. I may be over egging it but it was a good mornings painting, mostly focusing on finishing the top left area. I have pushed the warm tones as far as I can knowing they have to make sense within the rest of the picture. This is one of my favourite views in Northumberland, with the high vantage point it acts like a gateway to the best landscape of the county. I was hoping the painting was going to do it justice, so far it has.
