TURNER’S YORK
“The inspiration for this painting came as I was reading a fascinating book called ‘Turner in the North’ by Professor David Hill. The book contains reproductions of pencil sketches made by Turner on his first trip from London. Some of the sketches were worked up into finished paintings, sometimes many years later.
As far as I know this sketch was never painted by the great man, so it was ideal materiel for me to use as a base for my interpretation of Turner’s York.
I am very grateful to Professor Hill who kindly allowed me to use the sketch in his book, as well as some interesting hints about how Turner might have worked.”

Really loving your night scenes Glenn. The lighted windows is a very nice touch in this one.

I am pleased with this one Jim. It is a large painting and the sketch was done in typical Turner style. The scene doesn’t exist! Turner painted the bridge from a boat in the middle of the river Ouse and then stood on the bridge to add the Minster. I wouldn’t have attempted to paint a sketch he had already done but there are several more to have a go at and the Professor has given me permission to have a bash!

I had a lot of fun with this one. I deliberately painted it as a nocturne scene as I didn’t want to try and co9mpete with one of the master’s sunrises.
