Best of February 2020. There’s another month off the calendar. And what a month is has been. Usually at this time of year here in the north pennines we can expect periods of cold, frosty weather with a bit of snow thrown in for good measure. Like most of the rest of the country this month we had more than our fair share of rain. The ground is generally saturated but hopefully some dry days with a stiff breeze will soon dry out the pastures and paths.
Yet again I was able to get out every day in February 2020, nearly always locally here in Teesdale. From early mornings to catch the sunrise to late evenings as the day departed.
Once again, here is just a small selection of the images that I have recorded throughout the month. Some of them may look familiar if you follow me on social media or even if you live locally and have seen a few of the images on the regional BBC weather.
As with all of my work the images are available as prints or for use under license commercially or for editorial purposes. Just contact me via email for information.

Thank you to having a look. If you haven’t done so already, do subscribe to my websites to keep up to date with my work.
Andy Beck-
Having been a professional artist since leaving the Royal Air Force Regiment in 1988 Andy Beck has now become well known for his recent major project- The Wainwrights in Colour which has seen him exploring the Lakeland Fells to capture all the scenes in Wainwright’s Pictorial guides. Up until early 2013 Andy ran The Teesdale Gallery in the heart of Barnard Castle, County Durham which he did for 20 years. Reluctantly he had to close the gallery so that he could concentrate his efforts on completing the project. This has given him the freedom to paint at home in his studio or go out gathering references for his work. Andy lives in Teesdale in the north Pennines of England.
