Lonely Water

"Lonely Water" is the first painting I have sold since going blind - and as Van Gogh was "supposed" to have sold only one painting in his whole lifetime and that to his brother - well, I must have done something right.Lonely Water was again inspired by music of E J Moeran, plus a visit to Buttermere in the Lake District, though more for the loneliness of the area rather than for its beauty.The design again is simple, with the foreground shaped as a semi-circular curve presenting a rough track, grass verges and scattered flowers.
