Another view of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Burscough in Lancashire. It’s a place that I’ve painted before but here I dwelt on the cluster of shapes created by the narrowboats and houses and in doing so made it a portrait format. This format also allowed the full reflections of trees and posts. The bankside vegetation also added interesting detail.
At this point on the canal is a narrow swing bridge – partially visible on the left which allows traffic to cross the canal.
Other canal scenes are available on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com
Thanks to the two essential perpendiculars this works! Good job.

Thanks Ken, glad you like it. The reflections seem to bring the viewer back to the narrowboat

Thanks Jo – though with what they throw into the canal perhaps it perhaps isnt what you want to do.

Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us. I don’t expect to ever travel to England but I get a feel for the quiet countryside and the bustling cities from your paintings. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Thanks Louise. Everywhere has its own charms and I like to celebrate what is around me and by painting a particular view you come to understand and appreciate it better.
