Cindy Yaxley Artwork : Watercolour

homethe artistacrylicwatercolourmixed medialinks

I have painted watercolours all my life. My first try at a vista of landmarks was of Selby. That picture was purchased by the Town Clerk and hung in the council offices. After the Mayor saw it the image was used with my permission on a banner and the beer festival souvenir glasses. When the owner retired and took her picture with her the council asked for a replacement, which is shown here. I have since given Harrogate, York, London and Wetherby similar treatment.
