South West Academy Exhibition - March Our first exhibition of the year featured twelve artists selected from the prestigious South West Academy , the leading society in the region for professional artists. Members include Peter Blake, Alan Cotton, Rose Hilton, Ken Howard and Michael Morgan. Our show, sponsored by our friends at Marchand Petit ,property market leaders in the South Hams, included sumptuous still lifes by Rupert Brooks; surreal paintings by Jonathan Coudrille and Jenny Pymont; distinguished portraits by Peter Mallison; evocative abstracts by Alan Bourne and Lar Cann; wild seascapes by Tony Williams; and beautiful landscapes, most of which are painted en plein air, by Phil Creek, Alexandra Jacobs, Wendy McBride, James Tatum, and Ray Balkwill. We had a brilliant Private View with lots of red dots on the night.
