Memories of the Yorkshire Dales - John Conway

Memories of the Yorkshire Dales – John Conway

John is a retired Engineer who spent many years on the drawing board before moving into Management. Ten years or so before retiring at 72 he took up painting, something he has always wanted to do since he was young lad living in Accrington. His chosen medium is watercolour, and his sketch books and photographs are the foundation for his finished paintings. John’s watercolour paintings and sketches are inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, where he has both caved and ridden his endurance horses.
