Escape the grey of winter days and take a trip to the Gallery Upstairs where a colourful new art exhibition is currently showing in the freshly spruced up gallery. Enjoy new and original works by the 'Inside Out Painters' who are: Chris Clark, Gill Faraway, Sarah Kelly & Iris McCrow with guest artists David Herrington and Elizabeth Mitchener (printermaker). The exhibition finishes 15 February 2022  Chris Clark paints mainly in acrylic but also mixed media, watercolour and oils. She enjoys both plein air painting and studio work.  Gill Faraway is particularly interested in conveying atmosphere and a feeling for colour in her work and finds watercolour is ideal for depicting our English climate and changing seasons. She has recently enjoyed painting with acrylic paint and palette knife, giving a free and impressionistic feel to her work.  "Sarah Kelly says: "being in my sea kayak out along our incredible coastline as well as further west and abroad, has given me much of my inspiration for painting and helped me to be able to 'read' the water and revel in the sky. Getting back into sailing recently has given me a new viewpoint and a greater understanding of the sea, and a chance to develop my artwork further".  Iris McCrow Growing up in this area gave Iris lots of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, something she continues to do. Painting en plein air is her first love, and reflected in the work on show.  David Herrington usually works with watercolour and Acrylics depending on the subject and mood he is wanting to capture. His art continues to evolve in different directions and he is always experimenting with new ideas and subjects to create original and exciting artwork.  Elizabeth Mitchener is a printmaker creating detailed carefully designed images of the natural world which reward close perusal.
