Daniel and the unlikely sitters

Acclaimed local artist Daniel Yeomans is to host an exhibition in Ludlow of portraits of “unlikely sitters”.

Daniel, who lives near Montgomery and was taught at the renowned Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, has created portraits of people connected to him through his life and who would not normally sit for a portrait. 

“Each portrait comes with some snippet details of the relationship between me and the sitter,” said Daniel. “In these cases friendships already exist, but sitting for a portrait adds a new dynamic where we share a few days in the studio, instead of the usual social environment typical to that relationship. “

The exhibition, entitled The Unlikely Sitters, takes place at The Old Downton Lodge in Ludlow on October 5 and 6. 

The sitters will be attending the exhibition along with Daniel where guests can meet and talk to them.
