Exhibition at Geedon Gallery until 12th April

Only 3 more days to visit 

the Geedon Gallery Exhibition !

We went down there this morning, enveloped in mist even after 11am... and were delighted... a real feast for the eyes. This gallery is a hidden gem near the Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve. Follow the Mersea road out of Colchester and turn left in Abberton, watching out for a small sign to the gallery down a country road on your right...

                                                          

artist: Ruth Stage : egg tempera painting

I was immediately drawn towards a group of paintings by Ruth Stage; the colours drew me in, and then I was intrigued by her use of egg tempera for landscapes.

This one above is a different one to give some idea of her style, but you need to visit Geedon Gallery to see how beautiful her paintings there really are. 

There are beautiful ceramics, a group of wrens carved in walnut, playful otters in bronze http://www.laurencebroderick.co.uk/otters-lb.html

and so many oil paintings...difficult to choose one or two artists...but I loved the subtle effects & colours of Jaqueline Williams   http://www.jacquelinewilliams.co.uk

and we almost missed a group of small paintings just near the door on our way out...

well, click & see, then visit Geedon Gallery and find Barbara Richardson's "Honesty Straw & Pots"

and enjoy all the other paintings, lino cuts, jewellery, wooden bowls...

and the view from the upstairs window across the winding river towards Mersea.
