It happened.
Today at #AllanBank I fell in love with the landscape of #cumbria
It’s the first time I’ve ever felt a real emotional connection with this county I’ve lived in my whole life.
(But I still prefer the sea)

All that's left of the amateur artist Sir James Stuart, 5th Baronet of Allanbank (Rome 1779 - Edinburgh 1849), is his eroded profile. Which, ironically, rather resembles his drawing style...

More great photos from Matthew Cormack recently - we are delighted the red squirrels at Allan Bank are thriving! 🐿️
Thanks to anyone who has donated to support us - our rangers work tirelessly to keep the reds safe!

Read this book a long time ago and got this copy at Xmas. Decided to read it ahead of tomorrow's trip to Ibrox. The final is played out between Drumsagart Thistle & Allanbank Rangers. Here's to a similar ending! I have a suggestion for an alternative cover photo.

Another great day! Fascinating to learn about curating and house management #AllanBank Cumbria Uni English NT South Lakes

Allanbank Arts has been a very positive and supportive part of my art journey over the past few years. I am sad that they are on the move but wish them well with the move and hope the future is exciting and fulfilling for them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Lovely to see the red squirrels at Allan Bank and looking forward to getting the pics on the laptop when home in a few days.

Here the third work of a new series inspired by Beatrix Potter's creativity, 'Portrait #16 (Herdwick ram, a rogue politician)'. Probably the most satiric piece, however, I symbolised the dark political climate of our current society. The original work is available!😊 #AllanBank

This is one of a new animal portrait series inspired by Beatrix Potter's creativity, 'Portrait #23 (Springer Spaniel, a countryman)'. This work is dedicated to his precious memory of happiness and joy. The original work is available to purchase. Please come to see!😊 #AllanBank

Here the second work of a new series inspired by Beatrix Potter's creativity, 'Portrait #14 (Badger, Memento Mori)'. It's a homage to the lasting legacy of Western art with its concept of Memento Mori (Remember your mortality). The original work is available!😊 #AllanBank
