Edale Rainbow I 2026 by Helen Boardman
One of a small series of just three paintings, Edale Rainbow I captures the Peak District at its most luminous and fleeting made during the Heatwave Summer of 2026. The Edale valley is a place of sudden weather — skies that shine gold on the landscape, and rainbow colours that arc across the moorland with startling clarity. This painting holds that moment: vivid, transient, and deeply felt.
Developed from plein air sketches and made during the Heatwave Summer of 2026. Finished with artist's professional UV satin varnish and wax.
Part of a small Summer Heatwave series 2026.
