Description
This delightful scene is what greeted me as I made my way home from a walk by the local river. The riverside path suddenly comes to an end, with a sharp climb as the river reaches a road bridge. The other side of the bridge is a steel works, so the path can't continue. The building that can be seen is an old school which has recently been converted into apartments. I think it looks wonderful and must have been a great place to go to school, especially as looking in the opposite direction is a lovely view of the river. I had already photographed the school from the top of the path, for a painting which I haven't done yet. This view, looking up at the school, made the trees seem so much bigger and dramatic, so I painted this one first. I wonder if the people who have lived here all their lives, really appreciate the beauty of the local area.
