Peter Brook Original at The Smithy Kettlewell



As you know I am a big fan of Peter Brook, at the recent exhibition I saw some of Peters latest painting at £10,000 and theses were small originals

We have not had an original at The Smithy for some time but I am very excited to have for sale on behalf of a client a large and very wonderful Peter Brook Original.

Title: Still Afternoon
Size 28 x 40 inches on canvas framed.
Framed in Peters old frames made from old looms, full of character

It was sold by Agnews to Lazzards bank in London who in later years sold it on.
I estimate it to be around late 60's probably early 70's but not too sure, will show a picture to Peter when I see him to get a more accurate date and location.

The painting has to be seen to be appreciated photos do not do it justice, this early original is guaranteed to rise in value and be worth a lot of money in years to come.

At current market values this painting is worth well over £12,000
The seller is wanting offers in the region of £9000, this I feel is an excellent price and makes for an ideal investment

Any questions or more information please contact me

All the best

Carl

New Artist @ The Smithy Kettlewell


The Smithy is featuring a new artist

We are very excited to be featuring the original artwork of David Coldwell

David Coldwell, the Yorkshire Pennine landscape painter, was born in the spring of 1970. After studying art and photography, David set out on a varied career path taking jobs in film production, lecturing, press photography and project management.Today, David lives in Slaithwaite near Huddersfield with his wife, Amanda, and their three children.His paintings depict the often harsh and sometimes idyllic world of the Yorkshire Pennines; a vanishing world where isolated farms and grazing sheep survive against the elements and village centres rest quietly amongst the hills. David's paintings are available as original oils, framed limited edition prints, open ended prints and fine art cards

Give me Coffee


COFFEE!!!
The Yorkshire Dales is a beautiful place to live, but it has one big problem, the lack of decent coffee. Some of you may think, whats he on about, you just add hot water to powder and there you go. No I am not on about instant I mean real quality espresso based coffee. Yes its that fancy stuf that cost more than a £1, but when made right is worth every penny. What gets me mad is the places that advertise real coffee cappucinos etc, they charge you the high price, then give you a cup of basically crap. There is a skill , an art even to espresso making, I could bore you with the full details, but there are many places in the complex procedure to mess up and in a true coffee house only a trained barista would be allowed to use the machine to produce the drink, not some young saturday girl or boy or an owner wanting to make easy money. From the grind of the coffee to the temperature of the milk is all crucial. I am such a coffee fan that I have my own espresso maker in the shop and I have found few places that make a better cappucino than myself (I know self praise is no praise).
There is now a small glimmer of hope in my local town of Skipton with the opening of Bean Loved a small Father and son run business, they seem to have the passion and attention to detail, the beans are not the best I have had, but still a good cup of coffee.
Let me know your experencies, good or bad.
