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.
Latest News…..Christmas 2025
Hi everyone,
I can’t quite believe Christmas is only a couple of weeks away, I’m definitely not ready!!
I have been busy loading new work onto the shop page so if you are in need of a beautiful original oil painting as a special gift have a browse through the variety of work at very affordable prices.
Plans for 2026 are well under way with dates for workshops and an exhibition at Clumber Park booked in.
My big focus for the first few months will be the Fusion Art Fair , Harrogate from Friday 6th March. This is a big art fair and it is an honour to be accepted as an exhibitor where I will be showcasing a series of new landscapes.
I continue to take bookings for demos and workshops with art groups so if you would like to book me for your group drop me a line.
I am also working hard on the two events I organise each year, St Mary’s Church Art Exhibition in May and Art at the Farm in August - look out for more details nearer the time.
I hope you have a great Christmas, enjoy the time off with family and I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
….. I nearly forgot to mention…..Don’t miss my cameo appearance on Landscape Artist of the Year that is on Sky Arts in January!!!!
best wishes
Ian
