My Blue Heaven captures day eight of our 12 days of a Yorkshire Christmas

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: ‘The Simplicity of My Blue Heaven.’

Painting in the Great Cathedral of the open air, under endless Yorkshire skies, there’s a rare and quiet joy that stirs the soul. The clouds drift like abstract windows, casting fleeting patterns across the vast blue expanse, each shift in light and shadow as moving as stained glass in a grand cathedral. ‘Blue Heaven’ captures that sense of connection, a reminder that some of life’s most profound beauty is found in simple, open spaces.
