Weather Eye Exhibition Opened last week

There's a new exhibition in the newly created small gallery where the Craigie Aitchison exhibition was held. It's a small exhibition of varied works, all depicting the natural world. The walls give you an idea of the tones:

This one has seascapes
 Fabulous blues below:
And a lovely blue wall to complement the paintings above
The information panel explains it all, apologies for missing out the Bomberg.
Here are a few which I thought I'd reproduce here:
 Above is 'Ebb Tide on the Reef at Clodgy' by Borlase Smart in 1943. This painting was at one time lent to Noel Riley at the Beehive for a discussion group to talk about it.
 'Sussex Landscape' by Claude Muncaster 1947
 'Landscape' by Denis Wirth-Miller 1956
 'Burning the leaves' Mary Potter 1955
'Welsh Hills' by CRW Nevison undated and the subject of a free lunchtime talk by Sophie Cummings on 11 March 12.30-1pm, along with Wallis' boat painting.
 There's also a general talk by Sophie on the exhibition on Friday 12 February 12.30-1pm. It's free to everyone, so do come along.
 'Cricklade Landscape' by Edward Butler
