"Twilight on the High Fells"
Original Watercolour by Glenn Marshall

The first artist who inspired me to pick up a brush was the great Yorkshire artist - Ashley Jackson. Merice bought me his book -'A Love Affair' - about his enduring love of the wild places of Yorkshire. I devoured it and spent many happy hours trying to work out exactly how he worked. I have never forgot his wonderful talent for capturing the spirit of the moors and still love his work today. When Ashley painted this scene it was already derelict but I brought it back to life for mine. The description 'twilight' not only applies to the painting but also relates to the way of life of these hard working hill farmers - a way of life that is disappearing in this modern world. They were and still are a very hardy breed and this is a tribute both to them and Ashley to whom I will always be grateful. This painting was originally intended to be included in our "Double Vision" exhibition at Bridlington Spa from 27th October to 27th November but I have moved in another direction for that so I am pleased to present it to you now. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of an arduous life in this wild and beautiful landscape. Glenn.
