Fountains Abbey Art
Fountains Abbey by Emily Ward
Introducing a new piece of art - Fountains Abbey
Fountains Abbey Yorkshire
One of my latest pieces of art which I have added to my website is Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Park have been an UNESCO World Heritage site since 1986.
The impressive site in Yorkshire includes the ruins of the largest Cistercian monastery in the UK. It is a splendid Georgian formal water garden, and a medieval deer park.
Fountains Abbey is situated near the town of Ripon in the Yorkshire Dales.
Fountains Abbey - Natural Springs
The name 'Fountains Abbey' comes from the large number of natural springs in the area. The monks were never ever short of water.
The abbey ruins are now part of the elegant 18th-century water garden at Studley Royal park, water still continues to play an important part in the story of Fountains
Design
In Emily's painting, the monastic ruins stand proud behind a colourful field filled with pink, blue and yellow dainty flowers. A soft yellow hue glistens over the grassy meadow.
Emily has given these magnificent abbey ruins her characteristic splashes of colour.
Tones of lilac flicker through the sky which is speckled with splashes of yellow and pink paint.
