Painted a rough background for the piece! Wow am I proud of this. I combined three photos for the reference for this (for of course I am hideous at backgrounds and definitely needed a reference to get what I wanted!) - one for the sky (the view from my hill), one for the middle ground (the view from the top of Simon's Seat over Appletreewick and the Yorkshire Dales), and one for the foreground (the moorland on the top of Pen-Y-Ghent, one of the Three Peaks). I didn't stick exactly to the reference but it really helped guide my hand. I took 2 hours to paint just this. I hope to refine the ground work though especially but I will wait til later to do that.
Hope you like this!
