Anther Tour de France piece

And here is the last piece I'll be doing for the imminent visit of the Tour de France to Yorkshire.
This time it's Harrogate, a hint of the Stray, and a bit of the Pump Hous e Museum.
I've enjoyed working like this, creating art that is more poster than picture. I think more will come, possibly with more text, of a more poetic bent too

IT'SUMMER!

As ever, I haven't updated for such a long time, I find my scalpel easier than a keyboard! And I have actually been up to quite a bit . . . artistically that is, no normal life adventures to regale you with I'm afraid, work makes Jill a very dull girl! though I can never find creating dull.

I have had work in several exhibitions over the last few months, several commissions done and more to go.

And, of course, we have the Tour de France hitting Yorkshire on the 5th/6th July, so she who owns a pushbike that is a garden ornament, has had bikes on her mind, under duress I hasten to add! and done with a lot of artistic licence! Please don't comment on the fact that my wheels are spokeless!

It all started because of an exhibition in Leyburn, at the Warlands Gallery with two other artists. 
I did a poster type papercut, with colour, to advertise the fact that Leyburn is on the route, then another version for West Tanfield as it is just down the road and I may tootle down on the day and have a look.
And requests from some of the folk I know in Harrogate inspired me to do another! I have drawn the line now, no more arm twisting for other venues, though I have, due to the Harrogate design, become inspired to do more cuts with buildings on. So for all my moaning about bikes, I will be adding to the range of my images. 

The Harrogate papercut is nearly finished so I will post it later today hopefully . . . or tonight.

I have also done a few more images with animals on recently. Changing for a while the way I do my trees as the image sizes are smaller. I will still do them how I used to when I get back to doing my larger works.
