THE Lime Gallery, in The Courtyard just outside Settle, is hosting an new art show, Drama in the Dales, by Kate Bentley.
Kate's paintings capture the landscapes and weatherscapes of daily life around Yorkshire’s Three Peaks and the Eastern Dales.
Accompanying the exhibition are excerpts from Great War poet Laurence Binyon's poem Inheritance, in which he reflects the awe and majesty of Ingleborough and his lifelong passion for the Eastern Dales.
Kate is an award-winning professional painter based in the Lyth Valley, in the Lake District. She is a elected member of the Society of Women Artists, The Lakes Artists Society and the Birmingham Watercolour Society. She also recently became an associate member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
She said: “Living and working in the Southern Lake District, I have no shortage of subject matter but somehow there always seems to be a bit more going on in the Dales' landscape and weather. Partly it’s because you can see that bit further….no mountains in the way .... but it’s also the light, forever changing, that makes things more exciting.”
Drama in the Dales runs until Monday, May 11.
