Grabbing The Odd Hour.

I am managing to snatch the odd hour here and there after school to paint. Whilst it is stopping me from going mad, it is also frustrating; I have to pack away as soon as I really get into it. It is also changing the way I am currently painting, because the paintings are drying before I can get back to work into them - less wet on wet.
Not sure whether or not to call this one finished.

Wharncliffe

Again...painted over Easter. 

Based on Wharncliffe Crags, near Sheffield. I spent a lot of my childhood there, starting young with my Grandad Cooke. He would always tell us about the dragon (dated back as far as 1685, as the dragon of Wantley), and we would look for the Dragon's Cave (which does exist).
