More Lillies on t 'Cliffe

Attercliffe Water Lillies II




This is a slight variation on the previous painting (#36) with subtle hue changes due to the changing light conditions in the day.
Every moment of light is subtlety different - cooler colours in early morning becoming warmer
 as the day progresses.
This is an acrylic picture measuring 12" x 8" on canvas board, and is #37 of 52.
Nearly one a week for a year.
(Enjoy)

Lillies on t 'Cliffe

Attercliffe Water Lillies



I normally catch the train into Sheffield, however the other day I took the tram
from Meadowhall to Sheffield.
It's not exactly a picturesque route, but very interesting nevertheless.
The tram runs alongside the old industrial quarter for a length, taking in the railway and the Sheffield and Rotherham canal.
As the the tram approached Attercliffe I spotted these water lillies erupting colour out of the
gloomy, murky canal below.
I can't but help noticing these now everytime I pass, everytime different with the varying light conditions.
