Cheshire Trees

[woodelf]

Anyone know the name of the artist who painted Cheshire Trees? It may have been painted in the 1970s and had (I think) a lot of green, yellow and silver/grey...and the artist was probably from the Greater Manchester area - and is this image on the web? Ta Muchly.

Could be David Hockney who has painted landscapes, but I'd need to do some more research to confirm this.

Hi Daisy, I don't think it was Hockney. The painting also had a path through it. I'd say it was more likely to be an artist more local to Manchester than Hockney ever was and the gallery I last saw the painting in was doing a rental deal on its art. The gallery used to be in the road/street parallel to Market Street, Manchester...the same street which began with the Portland Hotel and came out opposite the entrance to Oxford Road train station. The painting was also reproduced on a Robinsons Brewery calendar...if all that's any more help.

Sorry Woodelf but I have only visited Manchester once, many years ago when I spent a week at summer school at UMIST,only occasionally getting time to venture off campus. Hockney was definitely a long shot. Good luck with the search.

Thanks anyway Daisy.
