Case Study 1 - Kilnsey Sheep Sale

Although not published in Holly Leaves until 1960 Joe's Sketches indicate that it was probably painted in 1953.

Case Study 2 - Morris Dancers

This painting appeared in a Joshua Tetley Annual Report and now hangs in the Public Bar in the Fox and Hounds, Bramhope, somewhat nicotined - but all that might change!
Joe's Sketches indicate that it was probably painted in 1953.

Case Study 3 - The Fourth Test England v Australia, Headingley, 1953

Mr. Joseph Appleyard of Otley Road, Leeds, seen putting the finishing touches to his oil painting
of the Fourth Test Match at Headingley in July.

The picture is to be submitted today to the committee choosing exhibits for the Yorkshire Artists 'Exhibition which opens on September 19th at Leeds Art Gallery.

"I was watching the Yorkshire Colts playing Durham when the idea occurred to me that the test would make a good picture".
"Racing, hunting and polo - anything to do with horses - is more in my line. although I did some paintings of boxing while in the army."

The painting shows Hutton and Edrich batting, with Edrich receiving the ball from Lindwall.
It gives a vivid impression of the whole field on the alert.
Mr. Appleyard worked from the Kirkstall Lane end.

The painting will be catalogued at 80 guineas.

There is quite a story to this painting, but more of that later.
Primarily an equine and landscape artist this painting was undertaken as a result of his love and interest in all sports.
Joe was also a "commentator" for the blind at Headingley Cricket Ground, a voluntary service he undertook through
his involvement with the Rotarian Club.

YORKSHIRE VERSUS LANCASHIRE sketch by JOSEPH APPLEYARD

This sketch is a little bit of a cheat as it is not the Test Match but The Match
Yorkshire v Lancashire
and it is Hutton batting.

Case Study 4 - Bedale Market

These pictures were made for Joe's book "Riding through the Ridings", which never got published.

Case Study 5 - Otley Market Square

Again painted in 1953 - some prolific year!

This picture has had quite a round about history.

More of that later when time permits.
