A4 Print This is an illustration I felt compelled to do following a swim in the River Esk in Eskdale Cumbria. I was totally awe-struck by the way the beautiful Autumn leaves swirled around in the amazingly clear current. The water looked that unmistakeable Lake District slate green colour because it reflected the bedrock beneath. […]
