En route to my studio in April 2010 I was pleasantly surprised to come across this view of Almscliffe Cragg from the Otley side (Only just outside Otley to the north east). Probably one of the lesser seen views – but well worth a look. Find St Marys church at Stainburn and walk through to the back. There is a gate leading to a public footpath across the hills. If you stop at the gate you are rewarded with this view. I’m sure the villagers of Stainburn keep it a closely guarded secret!
I photographed this in my studio while the paint was still wet under low light and fluorescent tubes – So not great quality … and the surface is still shiny! 
I will add it to my main gallery once the paint is dry and it has been professionally photographed.
This is not a commission so it is for sale! Please contact me for more information and to arrange a private viewing.
Regards
Julia
Update: I’m secretly pleased that this painting has won 2 Flickr awards in under 48hrs!
