Why not enjoy the
magic of the winter this year without getting cold? The new exhibition at Bianco Nero gallery, “In
the Bleak Midwinter”, features the work of wildlife and landscape artists with
a wintry theme.
"Bullfinch" by Esther Tyson
Among the artists
exhibiting work in the show is Esther Tyson, a member of the Society of
Wildlife Artists who successfully submitted two paintings to be part of the
House of Lords permanent collection earlier this year. Esther’s delightful paintings depict many of
the common winter visitors to our gardens and hedgerows – sparrows, robins and
goldfinches – and capture wonderfully their individual character traits.
"Ice River Teal" by Ingeborg Smith
Scottish artist
Ingeborg Smith’s work often portrays more unusual or secretive creatures, set
within glistening winter landscapes. One
of her charming paintings is entitled “Ice River Teal” and depicts two dabbling
ducks beside a frosted river. Several
local artists will also be showing work including Robert Newton’s dramatic
northern landscapes from Northumberland and Yorkshire, Winifred Hodge’s
evocative depictions of the Dales and Stephen Heward’s strong, painterly images.
