Harold Bird: Forest


Exhibition 8 - 29 July 2007

This solo show by local artist, Harold Bird, presents a series of whimsical forest paintings. These unusual paintings of twirly trees and dark woods have a mysterious edge.

Harold intuitively paints the organic forms of trees and plants from Lancashire and Yorkshire landscapes, describing the motives for his paintings as being ‘the constantly changing weather and light, the moodiness and sheer power of the landscape and features within it are a constant mystery and joy to me.’
