Ancient Church, Dartmoor

Matted watercolor. 8"x10". Dartmoor, in the Southwest of England, is one of the country's few wild regions. It's mostly dramatic moorland stretching for miles, populated only by sheep and wild ponies. There are, however, in its sheltered valleys, some cozy villages that look like they haven't changed in centuries. This church is in Widecombe, one of the prettiest. Mom spent a happy afternoon perched on a rock in the hills above it, painting this and several other scenes.
