A very early view from the barn just as the sun peeps over the horizon. It’s not a view I’ve photographed before but I think it works rather well when turned into a pastel on canvas.

Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Now for something completely different
Couldn’t be any more different from last week’s art offering. Mrs Summerhouse is having to work overtime to fill the Friday gap. These two images are created on her iPad and stand in stark contrast to last week’s watercolour and ink on paper. There’s a place for both I reckon. These are not actual images… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Now for something completely different
Mrs Summerhouse’s art in Nidderdale
A slightly different view of Nidderdale. Taken from the old cart track that ran up the dale before the reservoir road was built. We walk the dogs along here now and apart from the odd sheep it’s quite relaxing. This view looks out of the dale but higher up. It is painted in watercolour and… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art in Nidderdale
Mrs Summerhouse’s art and (one of) our favourite Irish beaches
Looking out over Ballyferriter beach, our favourite morning walk with the dogs. One of three pieces of art from Mrs SH. Hopefully more from holiday on Friday. Mrs SH didn’t leave the people out, there weren’t any. We’re home now.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art goes back to basics
Mrs Summerhouse decided she wanted to try doing a ‘proper’ drawing just to see if she still could. This is a drawing of our barn before we did anything to it. It looked like this for several years while we tried to get ‘change of use’ from the unhelpful planners. We did eventually and spent… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art goes back to basics
Mrs Summerhouse’s art goes electric
It’s taken a while – one year and two months to be exact. That’s the time between me buying Mrs SH an iPad for Christmas, that’s Christmas 2017, and her using it to produce some art digital pictures using Draw It. This despite encouragement and instruction from friends how to have a go. As you… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art goes electric
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : A misty morning at the vineyard
A view from our vineyard looking down a misty Nidderdale. There’s a whole range of hills on the other side of the valley but you wouldn’t know it from this picture. Pastel on canvas.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art – a snowy day
A snowy ( a rare one so far) in one of our local parks. It’s charcoal on canvas and hopefully the first of many for 2018. Happy new year to my viewers.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : cold spell in Nidderdale
We thought we’d celebrate this cold spell we’re currently having by going back to a painting of a previous freezing period up in Nidderdale. It’s a view of the dale near the vineyard and it’s one of Mrs Summerhouse’s relatively rare pen and ink on paper paintings. This is one of her favourite views and this is… Continue reading Mrs Summerhouse’s art : cold spell in Nidderdale
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Welsh holiday
A different location this time. This is Sugar Loaf mountain in Monmouthshire, Wales. It’s taken from a photo Mrs SH took on her iPad on our recent holiday. She’s really enjoying using her Polychromos pencils recommended to her by her friend Maggie from Beeswing Art so this is another one of that type / media.
