Back in March we suggested that the dead chestnut tree in the Park might be a suitable subject for the “Hockney treatment”, in the light of his successful exhibition of Yorkshire landscapes.   Caroline Herries and Jeff Halden responded to the call and have produced these wonderful studies – contrasting the tree to its surroundings.  Both of them study at the studio of  Simon and Angela Dawson of Stonefall Avenue, Starbeck.

If there was enough interest, and with Caroline and Jeff’s permission we might be able to get print’s done.  Let us know if you are interested.
