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.

High Tove                                                      1665'

High Tove from Armboth Fell. 04/03/08

Not one of the most inspiring fells to paint. The cairn from A.W's Armboth Fell summit has now almost disappeared but interestingly the vegetation patterns in the middle ground are practically the same after nearly 50 years.

The Summit. 14/11/07

With High Seat in the distance, the summit cairn on High Tove has lost its post and spread out a little since A.W's time.

This Fell is now complete.
