This has been helped by the re-discovery of an artist I had come across vaguely years ago and then, I am ashamed to say, had not thought about much. However watching an obscure little art programme on TV last night, this man was featured and I totally fell in love with his work. Not least because there are some beautiful images of The Peoples Republic of Yorkshire! The artist is John Piper, I'm sure you will already know about him. I have been researching his work on the internet all morning and love it. Am very tempted to be extremely naughty and order a book I have found about him and his work. I am offering a couple of images here which are from the website The Art of John Piper
Conisbrough, Yorkshire
Elgin, Scotland
I can't recommend the website highly enough, the work is just lovely. I now have to visit Coventry Cathedral sometime as well because he worked on the design of the stained glass windows, when the new Cathedral was built after the original was destroyed in the Blitz. The images of the windows look magnificent.
Don't you just love re-discovering artists and their work?
