Welcome to Karenann Matthews-John, who has just joined us as a member. Hailing from Weardale, Karenann takes inspiration from her local landscape, paying particular attention to the subtle changes in light and colour through the seasons. She uses beautiful jewel-like colours, achieved through the use of acrylic gouache.

We have a few moon jars in the gallery. The question is, how did this one get into a tree on the old railway line outside Mickleton? In fact, it’s the nest of a long tailed tit. Come to beautiful Teesdale this weekend and see both nature and art imitating nature at Kirkcarrion Gallery!

A deceptively simple little watercolour by Charles Knights captures a quiet moment of reflection. Lovely! .knights

Two new paintings by Jo van Kampen: the first is completely charming and definitely reminiscent of British illustrator Mabel Lucy Attwell (1879 - 1964) and as for the second - it’s a dog lover’s delight!

The gallery is closed for a few days so the builders can sort out a damp problem in an outside wall. It will be so much better when it’s done - no more flaky paint and plaster! We should be open again on Friday 16th January at 11:00 providing we can get the artwork rehung and everything straight again! Thanks to H& M for taking so much care about dust and dirt during the building work!
