Harrogate

Blue is one of my favourite colours and I felt compelled to sit amongst the Bluebells and put paint to canvas. After an altercation with some cows I finally set to painting the young trees growing through the thick carpet of bluebells and the end result was Blue Blue Bluebells.

 

Chatting with some of my regular art course clients I discovered that they loved the idea of painting outside but wanted this to be in a private environment. The Harrogate Garden and Flower School offered to accommodate us and the first of what will be ongoing courses took place on 6 May 2017.

As a Yorkshire artist based in Harrogate, I am absolutely drawn to the iconic cherry blossom trees on the Stray and I set up my equipment to start painting. I was very lucky that the Yorkshire Post photographer happened to be passing as I was painting and took a great shot which appeared in his paper.
