November Display of Paintings at Potteric Carr YWT Nature Reserve.

 Most of the paintings on display in the Kingfisher Tearooms at Potteric Carr YWT Nature Reserve reflect the season, from Hibernating Hedgehogs to Baby Seals at Donna Nook, a Barn Owl and Britain's favourite bird, the Robin.

 

This part of my display is close to the window and comes complete with reflections in the glass.  

The painting on driftwood of 'Baby Seals at Donna Nook' was inspired by a visit there last November and the extraordinary piece of driftwood I found.

'Barn Owl Hunting'

watercolor/gouache 

 

Kingfisher Tearooms at Potteric Carr, a lovely place to stop for light refreshment or a meal, right in the center of the reserve......

Stroll and Sketch at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Potteric Carr Nature Reserve.

The Springwatch Festival at the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Potteric Carr  Nature Reserve, taking place on 30th and 31st May, promises to be a fascinating weekend with many events for a range of interests in the natural world. As part of the festival, as resident volunteer artist, I am leading a 'Stroll and Sketch' group around the Reserve, starting at 10.30 am at Sedum House and finishing at 12.30 at the Kingfisher Tearooms.

My plan is to visit the various parts of the reserve that have become favourites of mine and which I have painted or plan to paint in the near future. I will show you what it is that draws me to the views and we will do rough sketches of them.
If you would like to join me you will need a drawing pad with a hard back around 10x8 inches, a 4B pencil and pencil sharpener/ or a black biro ( with plenty of ink in )

Booking is essential at
