St. Mary’s Church, Beverley.


 I do like this view, done in February, Valentines Day, it shows bare trees and a wintry sky. St. Mary’s has an interesting history, at one time it was occupied by Cromwell and used as a stable for his horses. Lewis Carroll is said to have been inspired to include the March Hare as a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, after seeing a carving inside St.Mary’s. 
This is one of my large watercolour paintings sketched at the site and painted back at home.


My Book of sketches showing double page spreads of views front the Yorkshire Wolds.
Also, you can see a very short video of the book, see below, Short video here.
