Andy Beck- The Wainwrights in colour.

The sketches shown here are the images that I have so far produced for this "Wainwright". The views are taken from the exact spot where A.W. stood to illustrate his seven pictorial guides. The comparative views are mainly different due to the time of day, weather conditions and seasonal differences. The originals of my sketches are approximately twice as wide and twice as high as A.W's pen and ink drawings. I have added notes to give more information to each sketch.

All images are the copyright of the artist.

To obtain these references has required 2 days of walking: 9/11/08, 12/11/08 (click on the dates to see the photos)

Crag Fell                                                     1710'

Crag Fell

From Bowness Point. 12/11/08

A very early start meant that I was able to catch the dawn light on the fell across a flat calm Ennerdale Water on this crisp November day.

Crag Fell from Ennerdale

From Ennerdale Bridge. 10/11/08

The summit. 9/11/08

A more substantial cairn now and the Sellafield complex can be seen in the far distance.

Another of the Crag Fell Pinnacles. 9/11/08

With Great Bourne over on the other side of Ennerdale Water this sketch gains an extra dimension over A.W's drawing.
