Four Friends, Four Styles - A joint exhibition

A joint exhibition of paintings by four friends who each express themselves through a different style of painting.

Tuesday - Friday 10am - 4pm, Saturday 10am - 4pm, Sunday 10am - 3pm. The Setting, Three Storeys, Old Bristol Rd, Nailsworth, GL6 0JE

These four long term friends are members of an art group meeting in Wotton-U-Edge under the guidance of artist, Rob Collins.  In this exhibition they show the different directions their painting has taken.

John Carter paints in oils and has a particular passion for group portraits with a narrative focus.  He enjoys observing and recreating interesting scenes where the observer can weave their own story.

Merilyn Brason’s fascination with the sea, springs from years living in Australia and the Channel Isles.  In later years she found that oil paints gave her the tools she needed and, having battled with the elements, now prefers to work from photographs and imagination.

Kelvin Broad is exhibiting a range of pictures tracking his journey with watercolours from complete novice through to someone who is beginning to understand the enjoyment (and frustrations) of the medium.

John Treweek has gone in the direction of abstracting his subject, included in the exhibition is a small collection called Couples (Still Life) and a larger collection called A Bend in the River (Landscape).
