Coniston, The Old Man of Coniston
An original watercolour by Julie Colclough, capturing an idyllic moment. Julie was sketching the view of The Old Man of Coniston and remembering pony-trekking here with her children. The young girl came by on her horse and just had to be added when Julie completed this finished studio painting. Right time, right place.
This original painting is now SOLD.
Julie Colclough has spent a life-time painting in the Lake District. She has exhibited in numerous Lakeland galleries.
Her 2014 ‘Umbria to Cumbria’ exhibition at Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbarn in Elterwater was highly successful.
In the 1990s Julie had the good fortune to create a studio at her brother’s house in Ambleside, where Kurt Schwitters once stored his work and where sadly a previous owner threw many of his experimental collages on the fire after his death. We look at the old fireplace and cannot believe such work went up the chimney in flames. The hillside garden with panoramic views has been a huge source of inspiration for Julie’s sketchbooks and paintings.
A wider range of Julie’s Lake District paintings can be seen at our Chester gallery on the historic Rows.
