This is a view of Stoodley Pike from Heptonstall. I took a photograph of it one summer evening last year. I loved the view so much I painted it. The original is sold but I have a giclée print of it available at Open Studios. The colours are lovely and rich (I had it printed locally at Knights Graphics) and I am really pleased with how close it is to the original.
I hope you can come and visit the Open Studios this weekend. I look forward to meeting you!

Today is the day! My private view is today at Heart Gallery I hope to see you there!
This is my last painting in my countdown to the exhibition. Here is a little bit of info about it:
This is a painting inspired by an evening picnic.It was my friend’s birthday and we went to the meadows above Nutclough woods. We chatted, laughed and ate as the light faded and cloaked the hills in indigos. The bright colours of the flowers still around us.This is my memory of it.
I have visited the gallery at Dean Clough since I was a teenager. It was a haven for me; to look at art and be in a creative space. I remember a book arts exhibition there which left a really strong impression on me and lead me to study illustration at Edinburgh College of Art. To this day stories and producing art that works as a collection or a sequence (as a book does) is still fundamental to me.
Looking out over the valley; the mist camouflaging the houses. Wintery woodland walks and wellies!
Once a week I look after my friend’s dog; Polly. This is one of our favourite walks. We go through the woods off Palace House Road and loop back around to pass these outbuildings. If we are lucky we see the horses that live there.
The under and over dwellings in Hebden Bridge give it a unique identity. Tall houses and rolling hills. When the evenings draw in the greens in the valley become more muted and accept the blue hues.
