Coniston Landscapes

 My next exhibition will be in The Institute, Yewdale Road, Coniston. Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, 10.00 - 6.00 Monday May 22, 10.00 - 4.00. It is in aid  (50/50) of the Mountain Rescue Team. I have only twice had to call out the Coniston MRT, when I have met other fell walkers in difficulties, but I can think of no better cause for lovers of the Lake District fells. 

There will be large paintings, medium-sized paintings, small paintings, hand-painted cards, Christmas cards, and post cards. 

Prices - well, original paintings can't cost nothing, but these will be far less than gallery prices. There's no need to buy anything anyway (though I hope you will). There will be plenty of ways just to donate lots to the MRT.

Coniston Water is, of course, the main subject in many of the paintings. 

But there are many pictures made from high on the fells - mostly in easy walking range of the village.

The little corners, appreciated as you walk past can be just as important to a lover of the district as the wide vistas.

Almost all the pictures are of the Coniston area, but I am lucky to have a possible place to stay in Borrowdale as well.

There is a wide variety of seasons and weather conditions.

Some of the pictures are of places I have loved to play for nearly 70 years. All the paintings are either from sketches, or from pitching my easel on the spot. All the paintings include vivid memories for me. There will be well over 50 paintings.

I do hope you will be able to call in. It will be lovely to see you.
