Donald Crossley (1932-2014)
Original watercolour painting, depicting a view of Kilnsey Crag, in Wharfedale in The Yorkshire Dales, with a farmer, a flock of sheep, and Border Collie Dog in the foreground, and the magnificent Kilnsey Crag rock formation dominating the background. This beautiful painting is by the listed Yorkshire artist Donald Crossley (1932-2014).
Donald Crossley lived in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, where he grew up alongside his good friend, poet laureate Ted Hughes. He attended the Hebden Bridge Grammar School, and studied art at evening classes in Todmorden. The photographer Alice Longstaff brought him to wider attention by displaying his work in her shop, and he went on to sell his paintings to admirers and collectors at home and abroad. His works of Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Pennine landscapes are easily recognisable and often exhibited and some have been published by the National Trust. He served on the committee of the Yorkshire Watercolour Society, was a member of the British Watercolour Society and a Fellow of the International Guild of Artists.
