    For whatever reason in the past month I'm seeing 403 errors on images throughout my site. I do run Wordpress which is completely updated and I've even tried deactivating all the plugins.

    What causes a 403 error on an image?

    I can't find much help on the web so I thought I would try here.

    403 clearly means rights issue. It seems like you running it on vps or dedicated server and the rights are not probably given correctly.
    If you still need help let me know. I am not sure if i am allowed to share my skype id for the same.

    Thanks and good luck with your project

    This can be file permission problems.

    I'm using Cloudflare and once I deleted the cache it started working fine.

    An error 403 means forbidden,and it seems that you are having permission issue.
    run sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/the/root-directory
    Hope this will solve the issue.
