Simonside in Spring- Rothbury June Ever since childhood

Ever since childhood

one can see how the original fort sat on a flat open area

It is an early morning view of Bamburgh Castle seeming to float like a beautiful mirage

to resemble bronze to emulate a simple classic Roman style frame

lace like foam drift onto the shore beneath an expansive sky

Simonside in Spring- Rothbury June Ever since childhoodThis painting, "Simonside in Spring Rothbury" is of the slopes of Simonside at Easter time, when the distant fields begin to fill with early wheat and the hares perform their gymnastic mating dances. The trees are covered in pale pink and orange buds, ready to burst into bright blossom or fresh green leaves. It's a time of re awakenings, with the iconic skyline of Simonside as a backdrop. It would make a great companion piece to my other painting
