Hesket Newmarket lino cut.

Hesket is a really difficult village to get into one picture - I decided the pub and the buttermarket had to be in to define the character of the village - but there are a lot of houses in between and some at right angles to the road. The houses at a right angle to the road were left out as you couldn't see them but we got everything else in..... The bottom of the picture is the grass of the green. Now I just need to wait for the prints to dry before hand colouring them!

I will probably do a couple of extra scenes - a closer view of The Old Crown pub with Denton House to the left and also the corner at the top of the village with the post office and the back road to Caldbeck.

Even the panoramic view on the camera can't get it in! 

The planning and the printing....
