Manchester centre by Les Heywood

Original pastel framed 
 
Manchester born, Les Heywood has taken on the art industry, in particular illustration, after 30 years career in advertising.  
 
Over time he has explored most mediums, however at the moment the use of pastels and oils, has offered him a subtle but vibrant colour palette. His subject matter varies from landscape to cityscape, but he also enjoys the challenge of capturing the mood of a dramatic sky before and after a storm.
 
He has exhibited at galleries throughout the North West including The Colin Jellico Gallery in Manchester and has had a solo exhibition at the War Memorial Art Gallery in Stockport.  His works are preselected for exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. Many of his works are now in private collections across the world.
