April

April … a cold start. It’s been a freezing start to April. Whilst sunshine stimulates my creativity, the cold start to April has stunted it. I visited Martin Kinnears great exhibition in Leyburn this week …well worth checking out. Martin’s work, his use of colour and interpretation of his subjects are a constant source of inspiration for me. https://www.tennants.co.uk/discover/events-exhibitions/exhibition-martin-kinnear-works-from-regeneration/ Also visited the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. Fantastic photo exhibition of the Wallsend shipyards.

I’ve also been working on finishing off some pieces for my July exhibition … I’m not a great finisher so its proving a challenge. Yorkshire Dales. Looking forward to starting on some new creative pieces …there’s a few sketches that I’m looking forward to working up. The brewery buildings in Burton on Trent are starting to catch my eye …
