Byland Abbey and Mowbray House

Behold the majestic splendor of Byland Abbey's west front, nestled gracefully amidst the enchanting tapestry of autumn hues. But that's not all! Picture Mowbray House in the foreground, a mere stone's throw away, offering a privileged view of this breathtaking scene. Can you imagine the sheer beauty one must experience while gazing upon this vista from the garden of that very house? Definitely a house which would feature on my wish list.

I was captivated by the kaleidoscope of colors that adorned the foreground foliage, just as much as the Abbey itself. No matter where I venture, whether scouting or simply taking a leisurely walk, the sight of the Abbey in the distance provides a reassuring sense of continuity spanning across countless centuries.

This painting was crafted not only from photo references but also from the vivid memories etched into my heart. For over 16 years, this awe-inspiring sight has been a constant companion in my everyday life, as it graces the landscape with its magnificence throughout the ever-changing seasons.
