Wainwrights at your fingertips.

 Did you know that here on The Teesdale Gallery website not only can you find gallery information but also a photographic record of walks to ALL of the 214 Lakeland "Wainwright" Fells?

 Visit the On Location section and you will find hundred of walks in all seasons, all with a set of photographs to inspire you to get out onto the hills or just enjoy. Andy's walks are not usually standard recognised routes as they are from his reference search for his Wainwrights in Colour Project so you will find many photographs from unusual locations.

On Location gets a re-vamp

  When looking at the gallery website over the past few months I had decided that it needed a bit of a "tweaking", I reckon that there are in the region of 750 pages now on the site, mostly related to the Wainwrights in Colour project or my days out on the fells. It was rather complicated to find on the site the days on the fells if they were completed over six months ago.
 As the website features day out on all of the 214 Lakeland Fells I considered that this resource needed re-organising. So, over the past few weeks I have been linking and re-shaping these pages as well as Teesdale pages so that they should be easier to find to the website viewer. What has resulted is a "new look" On Location page. The work is now almost complete and just needs a few final adjustments. I would be interested to hear any comments from visitors to the website.

Summer colours

  I have just spent a bit of time giving the front of the gallery a touch-up on the paintwork. Thankfully not much needed doing but it was a good time to attend to the job as I was just about to put up the hanging baskets for the summer. These sort of tasks at the gallery dont directly bring in customers but with such a prominent location within the town of barnard Castle it would be a shame not to make the most of our position. Many visitors take photos of the Market Cross and if they think that including The Teesdale Gallery in the composition makes for a better picture then I'm happy with that!

Window to the world

Heading to the Easter weekend is an opportunity to give the window diplays at the gallery a fresh look. Even though we use this Blog, the gallery website and Facebook to keep our customers informed of what is going on here at The Teesdale Gallery the windows are still an important "front" top the shop itself. the idea is to give passers-by a clue as to what we do- not just paintings in a gallery you know!

A Walkers Window.

What better than a "Wainwright" window? Teesdale draws a lot of outdoor types but I dont suppose I will be able to sell the old pair of boots in the display but you never can tell!
