Gallery Rural
Some of my earliest memories are of staying on a farm in the Lake District at a time when horses were still being used. Sadly horses can no longer be seen working the land unless you go to a working farm museum. Acton Scott in Shropshire has provided me with suitable subjects and also the events organized by The Northern Counties Heavy Horse Working Society has given me lots of material to compose period rural landscapes.
