Sue Nichol 'is a painter of coastal and moorland scenes in a painterly style':
My paintings are of places I know very well and visit over and over again, both literally and imaginatively. I am attracted to the ‘edges of the land’ including our fabulous and varied coastline as well as the rocky edges to be found in the UK.
One of those places is
Yorkshire and particularly, the Haworth moors:

| Wuthering Heights (Top Withens) 2 |
Glenn Marshall is a Yorkshire artist who defines himself as
Professional artist now semi retired and enjoying being eccentric!

| Cathy Come Home. Original watercolour by Glenn Marshall |
My painting had a few surprises for me too. It sort of took on a life of its own. It started life as a simple study of an abandoned farmhouse in the remote fells of the High Northern Pennines. I brought it back to life, set it in twilight, lit up the windows and there it was...Wuthering Heights. I could feel the presence of Heathcliff waiting at the window for the return of the ghost of his one true love and his plaintive cry. Will she ever "come home"? Incidentally 'wuthering' is a Yorkshire word meaning wild, exposed, storm-blown which summed up the real place perfectly.
