York Paintings

York is a city rich with history, character and atmosphere, offering endless inspiration for painting from life.

From the winding medieval streets and timbered buildings to the quiet corners and changing light across the city, these paintings aim to capture the unique spirit of York as it unfolds throughout the day.

Many of these works were created directly from observation while working outdoors, allowing the movement and energy of the city to influence the painting.
