Ian Davenport Art

My MISSION is to connect people with their special place, to our beautiful landscape, to adventures had and memories made

Painting Plein air as much as possible I try and bring an immediacy and freshness to my work with gestural mark making and a bold use of colour. Living in Yorkshire I am inspired by the local landscape, capturing the open spaces and big skies of Northern England.
