June & July summer exhibition

 I am delighted to be exhibiting watercolours, oils and small collages at the Creative Studio Art Gallery, Great Bow Wharf, Bow Street, Langport, TA10 9PN this summer during June & July. There is a lovely selection of local artists across a range of mediums situated in a beautiful repurposed wharf building on the River Parrett. You can grab a bite to eat in the Kitchen and wander along the river paths as well.

On a visit to Hestercombe Gallery, May 2021 (Landscape Portrait: Now and Then)

The clear line dissects

A horizon drawing the view

Everything else

Left to others to construe

 

And here are old favourites

With anecdotal charm

The chance meeting in quiet rooms

Shapes of another time, another place

Of older artscapes we have

Wandered in

 

Lyme Bay & Exmouth

All along the coast

 

Each footstep piled

Like stepping-stones

These landscapes we fossil

For memory bones

 

A washing line of memories

Pinned up, black & white

Reminding me of another day

Stitching it all together

While we unpick meaning

 

Letting our lives fall

Moments windblown

Petals on a lawn

 

Old walls and footsteps

Gossip in these halls now

A slow travelling

And in the blink of an eye

Time & timelessness combine

 

I remember the first time I saw

Leonardo da Vinci’s cartoon

It was no laughing matter

An acme moment

With a view

 

The triptych

(plant in threes)

The densely wooded landscape

(Of your knees)

Here tenderness grows

Wrapped in human clothes

 

Rain obscures the Jekyll garden now

A pattern of drops on the windowpane

Echoing art

Art echoes

Again
