'The River Eden'


A new little 7" x 7", 'The River Eden', available for sale, details on my website: laurabarber-riley.com

My main project at the moment is a wonderful commission of one of my favourite Dales stallions, but he is taking an awfully long time to dry between layers of paint, so this has kept me busy whilst waiting!

It is based on photographs that I took at Appleby Fair back in 2009, these four stood ever so patiently in the sunshine waiting for their turn to be bathed in the river. I really enjoy painting water, a seriously tiny brush was needed to paint some of the ripples on this little painting!
