New Barns, Arnside

Finished version of one of the paintings from and earlier post, painted en plein-air at the beginning of February, and touched-up back in the studio. The houses at New Barns Bay near Arnside ticked the boxes compositionally although my first attempt at capturing these houses on canvas were interrupted by the rising tide during the super-blue moon early last month. This tide being higher than usual so much so that the pochade box and tripod was moved several times before giving up altogether.

This second view was painted at the highest part of the tide fortunately well above the high water mark, looking towards the houses and café at New Barns (the café was artistically omitted!).
