“Shifting shapes and colours on the hills and sea as the light changes, vibrant still life and abstracts, red sails, blue flax fields, purple heather, sunset over Old Harry, orange umbrellas and the strong shapes and colours of city streets. This exhibition has it all and more.

Another great Olympic venue, right on top of the island and some fabulous views over the bay. If the latest traffic is anything to go by just drive right on up there as the roads are quieter than in the winter! I have 1 painting there and the exhibition runs for 6 weeks so 'pop' along for a look, and a chat with the lovely curators.
I have 2 paintings there and it's a fabulous venue so please go along if you can fight through the Olympic throngs! For a list of the supporting artists, inlcuding me, follow this link http://rair.org.uk/artists/supporting-artists/
