It’s been an exciting time at Farfield Mill as we managed to raise over £346,000 in shares which meant the mill has been saved from closure. We’re not quite sure how we did it but we did! My studio is in the grounds of the mill and so, although our place wasn’t at risk, we would have missed the buzz of the mill. It would also have been tragic for all those artists who have studios there and the staff who would have lost their jobs. It is a lovely place to visit in the midst of glorious countryside in the Yorkshire Dales so it would have been a sad loss if it had had to close.
A new website has been set up recently called Dales Discoveries and my work will be going on it. I love painting the scenery around here and since working in pastels, my work has become more dark and moody than when I work in watercolour. Here’s one of my latest on my easel in the studio.
