If I had put a bird watcher in my painting it might have been you! Someday maybe I'll paint some nice cottage and someone will say out of the blue, "Hey that's where I live!" haha. We thought it was just beautiful there and we do want to walk north next time to look at more views. I checked it out on Google and it looks really nice. I was really impressed with going the other way on the beach, gorgeous red sandstone rocks right along the coast that you could sit on, windswept and carved. I have a few bird photos I was going to send you for help with ID, could I do that? talk soon, Mary Hi Stewart, that’s funny! If I had put a bird watcher in my painting it might have been you!

Well, just about a quarter mile north of the farm in your painting ( Howick Village) . I'm glad you like the views, if you walk north from where you were for about a mile there are great views towards Dunstanburgh Castle too... Fantastic Mary, thats where I live!

I feel I need to work on more paintings instead of the many small field studies I do, to get that going again. Like my bird paintings I did, so loose and splashy. Thanks for looking! Mary Thanks Kathie,

You captured that scene quite beautifully. I like that you mentioned about leaving the sky alone. Too many artist's fuss around with the sky and it looks so artificial. I'm sure someone would want to buy this. Keep up the great work Kathie Excellent watercolor, Mary! You captured that scene quite beautifully.
