I have said it before and will gladly say it again. The Yorkshire Wolds is a delightful place to live. Unlike its more famous cousins – the Dales and the Moors – it is still unspoiled, peaceful and quiet. One of its many features is the miles of winding single track roads that meander through undulating valleys and Wolds. At this time of year the hedgerows burst into life. It almost seems as if it happens overnight. Suddenly the trees are resplendent in full foliage and the hedgerows are an extravaganza of flowers and plants in vibrant colours. All this of course makes for happy times if you are a painter.
This is one of many little roads that head towards the village of Rudston and beyond. It was an absolute joy to paint. I used my usual six colours and wanted to portray the sheer dazzling exuberance of nature in springtime. I painted quickly and joyously just enjoying the whole experience rather than concentrating on the finished piece.
There are miles and miles of these scenes waiting to be explored and I look forward to seeing you here. Don’t all come at once though – we cherish the tranquillity of the fabulous Yorkshire Wolds!
