Signs

During my travels, I always keep an eye out for interesting signs. Some signs are funny or unusual or some just simply look good. I particularly like old fashioned, traditional shop signs which look like they've been there for decades. I'm hoping to build up a collection of photographs of such signs and eventually, I'd like to paint a collection of my favorite ones in watercolour, but in a very photo-realistic style.

Here's a few photos that I've already taken..

Leathley

On Tuesday 6th March I was in Leathley and other surrounding villages like Pool in Wharfedale and Guiseley. A nice area just north of Leeds heading out towards the Yorkshire Dales. Another fairly cold day but plenty of sunshine around - everything's got that bare, end of winter look about it.

A New Season

The promotional tour has started up again for 2012. The weather's warming up and the first signs of spring are emerging.

So far, over the past 2 weeks I have completed 5 full days of promotional work, covering a new area of the country closer to my new home, West Yorkshire. Started off in Wetherby and the surrounding villages and then on to the northern villages around Leeds and up towards Harrogate.

A couple of pictures to show off here....

It will be interesting to see which parts of the country I cover in 2012. All will be reported on here.
