New beginnings - Cat Steps

Cat Steps Oil on Board - 10" x 8"

It has been some time since the last post, only about 3 years, so I thought it was about time this got going again, and this time - hopefully I will get more comments...

Cat Steps is a staircase of stone steps cut into the limestone cliffs above Stainforth, legend has it by the Giant of Winskill, although their true date is unknown, whether preshistoric or cut in the middle ages they form part of a two-mile circular walk from the village. This painting is of our two, climbing up the last part of the staircase to the ladder stile at the top, silhouetted against the tolkienesque woodlands carpetted with lichens and mosses. A wonderful place to be, although the steps are incredibly slippery after an all too common downpour...
