Rubicon Wall
Rubicon wall is based on Water cum Jollydale, a beautiful spot on the River Wye in Derbyshire. The river runs through picturesque dales with equally picturesque names, Chee Dale and Millers Dale before reaching Water cum Jollydale where a mill pond opens out, backed by the Rubicon Wall, a well known challenge for climbers. The Mill Pond was essential for the running of Cressbrook Mill. The river then flows through Monsal Dale. This painting has been a challenge so is aptly named.

Judges comments from the Open Art exhibition at the Willoughby Gallery, Corby Glen where this painting took 2nd Prize:
“The lovely range of textures and subtle colour changes stood out in this painting, using layers to build up the abstracted surfaces, successfully conveying the hazy atmosphere with a real sense of place and play with the media used.”
