A Yorkshire born artist, 92, with Doncaster connections, started painting over 70 years ago and has accrued over 800 paintings in oils and watercolours.

Bryan Day, was brought up in Maltby in South Yorkshire and moved to Tickhill as a child, in 1959 he moved to Carlisle where he attended Carlisle College Of Art.

Bryan’s original medium was oil on canvas or board but after moving to Spain in 1990s he found working in watercolour enabled him to capture the atmosphere and topography of the Mediterranean landscapes and movement of the water at sea.

In recent years his work has taken on a semi-abstract genre. He interprets what he sees and believes a painting must have a life of its

own.

In a single painting he seeks to portray not just a locality but to sum up his perception in the construction of the painting.

Bryan returned to Tickhill a few years ago where he continues to paint most days from a small studio at home and still travels painting Plen Air capturing hills, mountains and waters that have inspired him his whole life.

Over the years he has had numerous successful exhibitions both around the UK and in Spain. His most recent have been this last two years with solo exhibitions at the Fox Gallery in Mexborough and the Danum Gallery in Doncaster.

His portfolio is available to see and will be shown in future exhibitions.
