Back in 2023 we visited the Beamish Living Museum in County Durham. We had been before, several decades ago, and it was great to get back there for another look round. For those who haven't heard of it, the museum is a village and surrounding area that has been restored back to the early and mid 20th century. Visiting the museum is like stepping back in time.
One area consists of railway paraphernalia including steam engines, wagons and railway sidings and it was there that I spotted this old wooden shed tucked away in a corner. It instantly appealed greatly as a painting/drawing subject so I took some photos for reference.
Though the shed was old, weather beaten, and smoke tarnished dark grey wood, the door and the boards around the edge of the roof were red. This fitted perfectly with my intention of doing some more ink drawings with a touch of red, as I did with the Lakeside Cottage and Vintage Petrol Pump. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out and happy that I now have 3 pictures in my "Touch of red" series.
I love the touch of red, and I remember the other pictures!
