Lindisfarne

I spent a lovely sunny day painting this watercolour on site. Lindisfarne (locally known as Holy Island) is a cradle of Christianity in Britain and is served by a causeway, submerged at high tide, from mainland Northumberland. The ruins of its ancient priory can be seen today. I painted this picture with my back to the priory wall.
The castle is perched on a volcanic plug in the background.
