The Needle's Eye

Views around Wentworth  V

This painting is the " Eye of the Needle " situated adjacent to Coaley Lane, Wentworth.

Built in the 18th century it is one of the 4 Wentworth Follies.

This stone gateway on the Wentworth estate used to straddle a private road

 connecting the estate through to Brampton - a village a few miles north.

Legend has it, that Earl Fitzwilliam built this archway as a result of a wager
 as to whether he could drive his horse and carriage through the eye of a needle.   

(Don't think Ladbrokes were around back then!)

Measuring 10" x 8" on canvas board, this acrylic painting is #14 of 52.

One a week for a year - enjoy.

(£10)

Rainbow at Hoober Stand

Views around Wentworth  IV

This painting is a reflective view of Hoober Stand during a short sharp shower.

Hoober Stand is a Fitzwilliam Folly built to the north of the village of Wentworth.
From the top, on a clear day you can see York Minster - well so I'm told. 

I have taken shelter amongst the trees around there on many occasions.

Measuring 10" x 6.5" on canvas board, this acrylic painting is #13 of 52.

One a week for a year - enjoy.
