Description
I've had my eye on this grand looking building for some time now as a possible subject for a painting. I had been impressed by the view from the front of the building because of it's dramatic shape and I had seen it a few times when it has been highlighted by a stunning sunset. It was the building I wanted to paint more than the sunset, but I've only managed to photograph it with cars and vans parked outside which spoiled the scene and obscured my view. This day was after the last heavy snowfall of the winter and it was sunny. I set off down to the river to try to get some new photographs. This building is on the edge of the slope and a pathway down to the river. I took a photo of the house on my way down the path. When I got home, I realised that if I took out a few trees and a fence at the side of the path, I had finally got a picture of the house I could paint.
