Gerald Parkinson (b Shipley 1926)

Bradford born artist, living at Nabwood Drive Shipley in 1939, Parkinson studied at Bradford School of Art, but later moved to London then East Hoathly Sussex. Many of his subjects are of ships and harbours, perhaps influenced by his time in the royal Navy. His work is characteristically ethereal.
