A NEW exhibition showcasing all things Yorkshire has opened.

A Yorkshire Year has opened at the National Trust’s Nunnington Hall, near Helmsley – an art show, which is open now until Sunday, December 15, that takes its inspiration from 'God's own County'.

All pieces are created by two distinct yet complementary Yorkshire artists – Robert Dutton from Nunnington and Andrew Moodie from Harrogate – and will showcase changing seasonal landscapes from around the county.

RECOMMENDED READING:

Both artists have journeyed across the breadth of the region, capturing the varied and distinctive landscapes in all types of weather and throughout the seasons.

Robert is celebrated for his distinctive and dramatic artistic interpretation of the untamed expanses of Yorkshire from freshwater rivers and hidden woodlands to the stark beauty of the Moors.

In contrast, Andrew Moodie directs his attention to the valleys of the county and coastal villages.

Sarah Nolan, Visitor Experience Officer at Nunnington Hall, said: “This exhibition has been a year in the making and the quality of work that both artists have produced is outstanding. There are images from all over our region on display, including many recognisable landmarks and landscapes.

“There is also a brilliant accompanying short film for visitors to enjoy, which documents the artists on location talking about their passion and how they work, including here in the gardens of Nunnington Hall.”

A Yorkshire Year is open now until Sunday, December 15, with visitors able to buy the original art pieces.

Nunnington Hall is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10.30am until 5pm, with last entry at 4.15pm. Normal admission prices apply, which includes entry to the exhibition, with free entry for National Trust members and under-fives.
