For artists living in Middleham the horses, the townscape and the surrounding scenery are a constant inspiration.
Like the visitors we delight in seeing strings of race horses trotting through the town on their way to exercise on Middleham Moor Gallops. Their grace and vitality is captured in the lovely work of John Atkins.
John is a well known local resident and is often seen out and about with his easel and paints. His compositions of horses & riders, huntsmen & hounds are keenly observed and painted with a light and sure touch. His work has been shown in London as well as the North of England.
