Lingholm Sketch Book Diary 2016 "Despite the tight time table I had a significant feeling of adventure and history during those months at Lingholm. I woke at 7am I went down from the Skiddaw Suite into my studio with the winter suns rays flickering across Derwentwater. Taking my sketch book I'd follow in Beatrice Potters footsteps to the Lake side and an unchanged view of Herbert's Island. On return after breakfast I got my painting gear together and row out to the Lingholm Islands; making paintings of Derwentwater's wooded foreshore with Causey Pike and Catbells, a hazy Borrowdale and the glowing Skiddaw massif.”
