The exhibition brings together an exceptional collection of original paintings and signed limited edition prints by these two leading British artists, whose work consistently captures and preserves the classic charm of Britain’s most beloved towns and landscapes from Yorkshire to The Cotswolds. The exhibition runs from the 21 November to 14 December, so be sure to mark your calendars early.
This month also saw the arrival of new paintings by Michael James Smith, Gordon Lees, Terry Evans, Jay Nottingham, Wayne Westwood and a spectacular panorama by Edward Hersey, 'The Yorkshire Summer'. In addition, a new Wayne Westwood signed limited edition print 'A Sweet Song', is now published as an edition of 65 exclusively by York Fine Arts and now available to purchase both online and at the gallery.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
