River, or Skelldale. Continuous line throughout the whole landscape. Mick Burton, 1966

I lived in Ripon from the age of 5, near to the river Skell and sometimes walked upstream to Fountains Abbey. This single line throughout the picture was ambitious but seemed to work out. Initially I did Op Art black and white and then tried more natural colours alternate shading.
