Calfclose Bay, Derwentwater

A request from my granddaughter Jessica to produce an image based on the sculpture at Calfclose Bay. The sculpture, is a rock cut in half, with engraved cut surfaces. It is a celebration of 100 years of the National Trust. She had her photograph taken there as a baby and has always had a fond memory of it. I have mixed feelings about placing sculpture in the landscape, but it is unobtrusive and sits well. We visit it regularly on our evening walk by the lake.

My interpretation is influenced by the fruit of the nearby Yew tree. The Yew being a symbol of longevity.
