Obituary
It is great regret that we announce the death of
Leslie
Pearson
Born 1923. Qualified as a teacher in Art and Design at St. John’s College York. 4 years R.A.F. 1941- 1945. Latterly in the R.A.F., prior to demobilization, was a tutor on the E.V.T. (Educational & Vocational Training Scheme) for young servicemen leaving the service. Taught art, pottery and textile printing at secondary schools in Hull and then the East Riding of Yorkshire until retirement in 1983. Since then has painted in watercolour mainly marine and coastal works, up and down the Yorkshire Coast from Staithes to Spurn Point on the Humber estuary. A small tribute exhibition will be included in the 2011 Annual exhibition of The Fylingdales Group of Artists.
William Dealtry 17th April 1915 - 31st December 2007 An impressionist artist whose spontaneity of touch took a lifetime of practice and observation to perfect, William Dealtry who has died aged 92, was a landscape painter who used both oil and watercolour. His subjects were sky, moor-land, mountain, sea and the shadows cast upon them. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Watercolour Society and was a member of The Fylingdales Group of Artists. He was born in York, trained as a chemist and worked at Rowntrees’ chocolate factory in the research department. He studied at the York School of Art and was a pupil and great friend of Yorkshire Artists Fred Lawson, who for many years illustrated and wrote a column in The Dalesman. He loved to look at pictures and talk about painting to fellow artists, friends and family and he was a great admirer of Edward Seago. William married Flora Macpherson in 1920, moving from York to Burton Fleming in East Yorkshire and later to Pickering where he taught art and ran a picture framing and craft shop. His paintings reflected his love of the moors and sea with subjects mainly of North Yorkshire and its rugged coastline, but the North West Coast of Scotland was his second love and he spent many of his holidays painting in the Scottish hills around Gairloch, West Ross shire, which was the home of his wife’s parents. He also included many parts of Britain, Europe and New Zealand. Wherever he went he would always take a sketch pad with him and his two minute sketches would be transposed to canvas on return to his studio. William never stopped painting and his enthusiasm remained undiminished throughout his life, and after suffering a stroke which left him paralysed down his right side, he struggled to adapt to painting with his left hand. After William’s stroke Flora, his wife for 65 happy years, nursed him lovingly until her death from cancer in 2005. He died peacefully in his sleep leaving four children, a son Michael and three daughters, Ann, Jennifer and Susan, eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. An exhibition of his paintings will be held later this year in the Brian Sinfield Gallery, Burford, Oxon, to celebrate his lifetime of painting. Obituary John Carter D.A. (Edin), N.D.D., A.T.D. 25th February 1931- 16th April 2007 It is with regret that we record the death of John Carter. John spent a lifetime painting the North Yorkshire scene in his own distinctive style, he exhibited throughout the country and further afield including the National Museum at Szczecin, Poland. He was elected a member of The Fylingdales Group of Artists in 1985 and became Secretary in 1994, a position he held until his death, he has the distinction of never missing an Annual General Meeting during his time as a member. John and his work will be sadly missed by the group. Don Micklethwaite (Hon Treasurer July 2007).
