On 20th October 2012 Durham School 1st XV played Ampleforth College. this was one of the biggest rugby fixtures the school plays. I was there to record the game and produced this new limited edition print.
The game was played in memory of respect of Noel Shearing . There are only 34 prints available. This was the age Noel Shearing died and I will be donated a framed print to Noel’s charity for auction.
Many of the boys are clearly identifiable in the painting.
This was the only time any of the Durham School players could hope to have a painting of themselves in action.
Playing in such a historic side with such a breathtaking backdrop as Durham School and Durham Cathedral. Already several of the boys have ordered their copies of the print. All prints are signed and numbered with the same number shirt they usually wear for the team.
The print and the original watercolour painting can be seen at my Studio & Gallery in Ponteland.
