In March it was Mick's choice of subject and this is it.
Lindisfarne.
A very famous monastery on the (holy) island of Lindisfarne off the north-east coast of Northumbria, it was constructed in the AD600s. The most famous historical incident was the arrival of the Vikings in AD793 - `Barbarian raiders from the sea' who sacked the monastery and killed many of the occupants. Later Viking raids also took place.

I did not enjoy this one at all - sorry Mick - in fact I almost hated it! I can imagine painting it plein air and possibly in oils but watercolour from a photograph! This was my third and final effort. Actually I think the black and white version is best courtesy of the photo editing programme.
I tried my best but oh dear... I used granulating liquid on the bottom half and the Daniel Smith Lunar colours as well as the usual staples, Cerulean, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber and Ultramarine Blue. Only two brushes No 6 & 8 Isabey Kolinsky sables.
