Being a local rural pub we host community activities as well as our retail food and drinks hospitality business. One feature is our constantly changing compact free exhibitions of work by local professional, semi-professional and amateur artists hung around the bar and dining areas.
Most works are for sale and we encourage visitors to take the opportunity of acquiring original art at very good prices from these talented artists, all of whom live and work in the locality.
NOW SHOWING
Currently showing from January 2010 are drawings, pastels and paintings by local artist Elaine Warwick Simpson, who lives a stone’s throw from the inn as it happens. In fact she can often be met in the bar, on one side of it or the other.
Artist’s Comments
My name is Elaine Warwick Simpson and I live in West Yorkshire, where I work as a self-employed travel agent specialising in Australasia and Round the World journeys. The time spent on my art work is the balancing act - complementary to the days spent tied to a computer screen organising often complicated journeys for intrepid explorers! To visit my personal website please click here.
I use a wide variety of methods and materials, with soft pastels generally being favoured for figurative work - portraits and life studies; and acrylic, oil or mixed media for paintings; with a smattering of water colour throughout.
On my website home page you will find recent work and examples of the wide variety of pictures I produce. Maybe one day I'll have a 'style' but for now my inspiration comes from many sources and I love to work with all kinds of materials so there are often 'one-off' paintings that look as if they could have been done by different people!
