All Saints Church in the South Yorkshire ex-mining village of 

Darfield, near Barnsley. A small Impressionism Style Acrylic 

Landscape Painting.

The 100 feet tall tower of the Anglican Parish Church, can be 

seen rising above the trees. The Acrylic Paint is applied quite 

thickly and dryly using a cheap, coarse hog's hair brush in an 

Impressionist Style.

The purple colours used in the road are reflected in the trees and 

in the Darfield Church tower, and the stone colour of the sunlit 

tower is also repeated in the road to give a unity to the Painting.

Darfield Fact:

The word Darfield comes from the two words, Dere, meaning Deer

and Field meaning area of pasture land.
