A look back at Summer! We had the most wonderful Summer in the South Hams . The great weather brought us lots of visitors and holiday makers as everyone headed to the beach. And when the odd cloud did appear we were only too happy to provide some indoor sunshine. Here are some favourite memories: Burgh Island - Tony Parsons Sea Tractor - Charles Jamieson Bee in Winter - John Hurford     The Sun Wave - Tony Williams You Warm my Heart - Elizabeth Westcott Warm Clouds reflected at Low Tide - Barry Kelly

We were delighted to see Gallery Artist Jennifer Wright's  beautiful painting of Salcombe featured on the cover of Country Life.

We have a good selection of Jennifer's paintings in the gallery at the moment. drop by and take a look.

Islands of Memory - Jerry Browning   There is one sure thing when you have a show of Abstract Art - everyone has an opinion! and so it proved on the opening night of Jerry Browning's new show where huge canvases of colours in every hue from shocking pink to midnight blue caused much comment and discussion.

The Colour of the Colour - Private View We had a great night launching this new exhibition - in fact it was a bit of a family affair with our five artists - Karen Ciambriello, Louise Courtnell, Diane Nevitt, Lisa Stokes and Yana Trevail - all coming along with friends and family. This was the first time the artists had shown together and the evening was a great success.
