This oil was done from my sketches that i did while on holiday in Yorkshire. Lindisfarne is a majestic, awe inspiring landscape, and Its best to see it on a cold brooding winters day, because that is the only way to really appreciate what it would have been like for the monks that inhabited that heart of the soul. You can imagine the centuries of learning and culture that was Lindisfarne. Most remember the onslaught of the viking hoards that tried to obliterate the minds of culture that the monks gave to posterity, but they failed, as all despots do in the end, good is more powerful than evil.
