The beauty of Yorkshire’s National Parks are a source of joy and wonder, and for three generations of one family it inspires them to create their own artistic images of the landscapes.
Now the work of Peter Hicks, his daughter Beverley Hicks and granddaughter Phoebe Scott can be viewed in a special exhibition, Reflections and Connections, at the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes. Mr Hicks, who lives in the North York Moors, is a landscape artist who works in watercolours. His daughter, Beverley, is head of art at Skipton Girls’ High School, and her specialism is in abstract paintings, while Phoebe’s artistic talent manifests itself in metal and stained glass.
“It’s not a bad thing to look back and take the best things of what you’ve done in life, and use those. The circles came about when I won a scholarship to go to Australia and I looked at the dot paintings. That was where they came from. They have always been somewhere in the paintings but I wanted to bring them back again . “For me the grids are a comforting way of responding to the landscape.
