ARTIST Diane Thornton was on home ground for much of her latest exhibition, The Love of Colour.
The York and Harrogate-trained painter travelled widely across North Yorkshire to capture many of the 60 scenes in the show.
"I am so lucky to live in York with the Dales, Moors, east coast and the Lake District all virtually on my doorstep," she said.
She uses a variety of mediums to capture the scenes that inspire her, from pastels and watercolours to inks, acrylics, gouache and oils.
"Each medium has a special quality and the inspiration comes from the sheer beauty of the North Yorkshire landscape," she said.
The exhibition at the Blake Gallery, in Blake Street, York, is open daily until November 9.
