New Lake District watercolours

Hi Everyone
I have recently been painting some new watercolours of the Lake District of England. It is an area we have enjoyed visiting and we hope to again next year.
I am indebted to the site “Walk my World” for letting me use one of their Lake District photos of Lake Buttermere. Do visit their site as it is a great place to see more of their extensive travels. Thanks Cat and Joe.
I have included a few other watercolours painted previously to show some more places of this  delightful part of England.

The view below of Buttermere is from near the Honister pass on the lower slopes of “Haystacks”

Not far away is the little village of Grange in Borrowdale with it’s unusual twin arch bridge over the two branches of the River Derwent.

Near to the spot where the River Derwent enters Derwentwater this watercolour includes St Herberts island

Scafell Pike and Peak are so well known that I have had to include this watercolour of tem  here and below this is a watercolour of yachts sailing on Lake Windermere

Here are some Lake District Bridges painted during previous visits.

And finally a watercolour again of Buttermere, a lake that I find is a continuous source of inspiration for my paintings

There is no doubt that we are very lucky in this small island of Great  Britain to have such wonderful places to visit and in my case to get inspiration for even more watercolours

Happy Travelling

Brian

Don’t forget that many of these watercolour are for sale on my internet shops.
