Yorkshire waterfall painting, an original abstract painting inspired by the beautiful Janet’s Foss waterfall near Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales. Part of my Waterfall Series, this atmospheric landscape painting captures the movement, colour and refreshing feeling of standing beside the waterfall. By Yorkshire landscape artist Janine Jacques.
MEDIUM: Paint on paper
STYLE: Abstract Yorkshire landscape art
LOCATION: Janet’s Foss, near Malham, Yorkshire
SUBJECT: Janet’s Foss waterfall and the movement, colour and atmosphere of the surrounding landscape
Malham Cove is one of our favourite family walks in Yorkshire. We usually head to the top of the Cove first, then wander down into the woods to visit Janet’s Foss. It’s such a lovely spot for bathers and paddlers, like myself! A little cooling dip before carrying on into the village of Malham. I can highly recommend a visit.
In this waterfall painting, I wanted to capture the feeling of standing in front of Janet’s Foss: the movement of the falling water, the cool, refreshing air around the pool, and the colours that shift and blend in the spray.
Although the work is abstract, it carries the sense of place I always feel when visiting this magical corner of Yorkshire.
Painted on paper using layered acrylics with touches of oil paint.
A walk that was so long,
From Malham village for the strong.
Up Malham Cove and across the cracks,
A picnic and some delicious snacks.
The waterfall looked divine,
The water did surely shine.
Refreshingly cool after the trek,
A paddle and splash upon the neck.
Janet’s Foss, a hidden treasure,
A place to enjoy at our leisure.
The water, crystal blue and clear,
A treasured memory, year by year.
