Ian Davenport Art
My MISSION is to connect people with their special place, to our beautiful landscape, to adventures had and memories made.
Painting Plein air as much as possible I try and bring an immediacy and freshness to my work with gestural mark making and a bold use of colour. Living in Yorkshire I am inspired by the local landscape, capturing the open spaces and big skies of Northern England.

Hi,
When is it going to stop raining???
I can’t remember the last time I saw the sun which has put the brakes on any plein air outdoor painting action. I am so looking forward to the spring and getting at it again. In the meantime I am busy in the studio prepping for the Fusion Art Fair in Harrogate from 6th to 8th March. It promises to be a great event with over 100 artists, demos, food & drink, come along and take a look at my latest collection of small landscape studies.
I have a selection of work on display in Cafe H, Tickhill, all the work is for sale so pop in for the lovely coffee & cake and take a peek at the work.
Plans are set for the spring with lots going on :
Clumber Park Residency & Exhibition 3rd - 11th April
Clumber Park Blossom Festival 2nd - 4th May
St Mary’s Church, Tickhill Exhibition 8th - 10th May
Doncaster Art Fair Sat 16th May
Art at the Farm Festival, Tickhill 1st & 2nd August.
Also I am running workshops in Clumber and continuing my work with local art groups with demos and workshops. Check out my workshops page for more details.
Lets hope the sun comes out soon.
That’s all for now, best wishes.
Ian
