Montacute House is an Elizabethan Manor in Somerset; you can learn more about it here. It has an impressive long gallery, which affords lovely views over the grounds. I understand that there are changing exhibitions of paintings in the rooms leading off the gallery.
The weather during my visit was overcast, which meant that I wanted to push the colours more in this painting.
Water always provides an opportunity to paint loosely and wet-in-wet to give an effect of movement. In fact, I think watercolour is one of the best mediums to portray water.
