Durham Castle and Cathedral, and the River Weir below.
Painted from life, this piece holds the sensation of a moment that was there and then gone. In urban scenes, the challenge is to keep the architecture solid while letting the atmosphere stay open and lived-in.
It’s about atmosphere more than detail—how the place felt, not just how it looked. The composition was chosen to emphasise depth and direction, letting the eye travel naturally through the scene.
It’s a small act of attention, offered as a lasting object.
