Overlooking Calf Hey

Original mixed media oil painting. 75 x 50 cm.

Calf Hey Reservoir sits in the heart of Lancashire and has long been a favourite local walking spot. I’ve explored its winding paths time and time again, and each visit brings a fresh sense of joy and discovery. The hills that cradle the reservoir are rich with trails, quiet corners, and hidden gems — from peaceful viewpoints to glimpses of local wildlife. This painting captures the calm, the adventure, and the quiet magic that make this place so special to me.
