Still unpacking my old studio but very excited for my new studio. It already feels like a really freeing and inspiring space.

Somewhat traumatised animals, still lots to unpack, and another lorry arrives tomorrow! 😱 Do nowhere near creativity just yet, unless you count how to fit stuff from a big house into a smaller house! . . . #moving #newhome #unpacking #warwickshire #stratforduponavon #newhome #artist #carolinewalshwaringartist #newideas

Life has been a but busy lately so I’ve been a quiet on here and then I went for a bit of r&r in Colorado. Just so you know I’m alive and well just taking a bit of time out while sorting out a few major life changes. Details will be revealed soon.

Happy Christmas Everyone! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 . . . #happychristmas #art #painting #artist

Apologies to my followers for not posting much recently. There is a lot going on in my home life just now which is taking my attention. Not to worry, it’s all good and will mean big changes for me in the coming months. Also I have stinky, horrid flu! As I am immuno suppressed it means it has hit me very hard and I’m feeling pretty exhausted. Hopefully I will be back up to speed soon. You are all still in my thoughts so out of sight does not mean out of mind. Happy Christmas, here is an older painting of mine featuring my daughter looking across Wiltshire from Cley Hill, a snowy winter several years ago. . . . #stillpainting #snow #christmas #landscape #snowlandscape #oilpainting #vaaworkingartist #art #artist #flu #artistwithflu

Christmas on the Tiles Gouache on paper Original £185

Having collected my work from the excellent @fromeartsociety Winter Exhibition @blackswanarts today I found my bag a little on the light side. A lovely pre Christmas surprise to find that “By Moonlight” has sold and gone to its forever home. I’m so pleased because I really enjoyed painting this piece so I’m glad it’s gone to a new home. A little happy dance time I feel 😄 . . . #art #sold #fromeart #frome #localartist #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #buyart #exhibition #artexhibition #artsold #foreverhome #artcollector

So successful I have sold out! Too late to order more I’m afraid! Thank you everyone! . . . #christmascard #soldout #artcard #uniquedesign #artstory #artsuccess #win

At long last here is my long awaited 2023 Christmas Card design, printed, as always, beautifully by @lovefromtheartist. If you would like to buy any they are £2.50 each or £1 each for orders of 10 or more. Please let me know by December 1st as I need to get orders to the printers in good time. There will be an additional cost for postage, not usually more than £4. It’s a new style for me, I’m experimenting with lots of new things just now. It keeps life interesting and helps to keep my skills and imagination challenged. Hope you like it! 😃🎄🤶🤞🎉 . . . #christmas #card #greetingscard #seasonsgreetings #newwork #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #originaldesign #uniquedesign #buyart #buyartfromartists #artistsoninstagram #supportsmallbusiness #supportartists #somersetartist

A little bit of cheer for your guests as they arrive in your home. What you greet your guests with says a bit about who you are. This is a real conversation piece. Something to break the ice or perhaps have on ice to welcome them? Champagne and Chantreuse, oil on canvas, is on exhibition @theammerdowncentre near Radstock. . . . #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #exhibition #radstock #buyartfromartists #funart #art

I went to the @theammerdowncentre with the @oldbakeryartists yesterday to hang our latest exhibition there. With such a huge amount of space there was plenty of room for us each to hang at least 4-5 paintings. I’ve hung a couple of new pieces, Pink Bird Tree and Blue Bird Tree. Both are a new direction for me inspired by finding a book of medieval art that belonged to my father. It’s a style that has always held a fascination for me, I really enjoyed bringing a contemporary twist to the paintings. Marrying my style with the medieval and bringing in two of my favourite subjects, trees and birds. So I do hope you will take time to visit this lovely venue in the heart of the Somerset countryside where you will find meetings, events and activities of all shapes and sizes. . . . #exhibition #artist #somerset #somersetart #surrealism #narrativeart #frome #bath #oilpainting #newart

If you would like to see this on your bedroom wall it’s currently in exhibition @artatheartruh in @ruhbath. I’m exhibiting there with @oldbakeryartists, with 4 other pieces of my art. It can be hard to envisage a painting on your own wall but I like to think mine add a little bit of brightness to any wall. With the help of @smartistapp here’s just one example. Plus if you buy from Art at the Heart 30% if the sale price goes to the hospital. So everyone gets a little bit of art happiness. . . . #artforyourhome #happyart #arttherapy #artist #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #tree #carolinewalshwaringartist #buyart #homeart #bathlife #vaaworkingartist #surrealart #narrativeart

Whilst I hate to do this in November I thought you might like a little sneaky peek at my this years Christmas card design. Still in the creative process, I’ve gone for a very different style, why you ask? Because a change is as good as a rest in my book! Happy … November! 😃 . . . #christmas #carolinewalshwaringartist #artcards #watercolour #seasonal #artist #artistsoninstagram

I spent this morning hanging work on behalf of @oldbakeryartists @artatheartruh. The work looks really good and brightens up the walls of the hospital. We had several admiring comments and a couple of enquiries before the paintings were on the wall! Plus thanks for contributing our work. All the work is for sale and 30% goes towards the hospital funds. So it feels like a really worthwhile exhibition to do. Bringing light into the lives of those who may be in distress. . . . #art #arttherapy #hospitalart #artattheheart #exhibition #paintings #oilpainting #abstracts #bath #bathlife #bathlifemagazine #artastherapy #wildlifeart #artcurators #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist

A lovely way to start my Monday. A lovely walk with the dogs.

When you’re playing with an idea in your head it’s a good thing to have a bit of playtime. Most artists will be familiar with the task of making quick sketches when learning. Starting at 10 minutes and gradually moving down to 5 or even 1 second sketches. It’s loosens you up, and teaches you that great effects can be created with the minimum of lines. So for this I soaked the watercolour paper with water, used a huge brush to lesson my control and just slapped the paint on. In 20 minutes ideas flooded into my head and now I’m waiting for it to dry so I can add the next stage. Such fun! . . . #playwithpaint #loosesketching #watercolour #inspiration #art #artist #workonpaper #carolinewalshwaringartist #ideas #artoninstagram #artistslife #sketching #vaaworkingartist

Showing the progression of my latest work. I wanted a nice peaceful colour for a gentle message. No matter how difficult life seems take the next step, there is always a way forward to new possibilities. We just need to be brave enough to take it, we never know what wonderful surprises may be in store for us, moving forward is the only way to find out. . . . #lookahead #futureplans #findyourfuture #dontbeafraid #artwithhope #oilpainting #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #crossingbridges #surprisesahead #newsteps #workinprogress

Spent this morning talking to Martin Cook from radio GWS Radio about the @oldbakeryartists exhibition in @wells.museum. It’s free entry to the exhibition and it continues until 4th November open Tuesday-Saturdays. A lovely venue for the groups work. . . . #art #artexhibition #wellssomerset #ceramics #abstracts #wildlife #landscapes #watercolour #acrylics #oilpainting #textiles #buyartfromartists

An update on the piece I’m working on now. I had inspiration whilst out walking the other day. If this works out the way it looks in my head I will be very excited! I have a title I’m playing with already. What inspires you??

Busy working on a new pice at the moment. Which started really well, then went really pants then today I had done exciting inspiration. But I must wait for this stage to dry if I am to get the next bit right. So in the meantime I’ve done some sketching to work through the composition. A little frustrating but I’m excited to share the finished image with you, however that will take a little time. Most if the time I’m not a very patient person except with my oil painting. . . . #fineart #neosurrealism #oilpainting #inspiredbywar #israel #palestine #ukraine #russia #carolinewalshwaringartist #surrealism #bridge #blue #gap #inspiration #newwork #art #artist #powerfulart #artwithaconscience #artwithmeaning #vaaworkingartist #fromeartist

How lovely to find my piece “Crossing the Divide” featured in @outaboutmag for @artsurrey last weekend. The painting certainly drew its fair share of attention over the weekend and is still available for anyone still wishing they had taken it home. As a reminder it’s 59x40 cm, framed oil on canvas £900. Message me if you are interested and thank you Out and About for the feature. . . . #artadvertising #artwins #oilpainting #surreyartists #surrey #artfairs #surreylife #surreyhills #artforyourhome #interiordecoration #interiorart #oiloncanvas #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #professionalartist #galleryartist #surrealistart #surrealistpainting #surrealism #surrealist #surrealistnature #inspiredbynature #featuredartist #modernart

Much admired @artsurrey although not sold “A Guiding Hand to Heaven” provided lots of fascinating discussion. So still available at £900, 50x40 cm, oil on canvas with a moulded black frame.

Captured on my walk this morning. There has to be a painting in this stunning hawthorn covered in bright red berries. It won’t be in time for @artsurrey although it gives a clue to how my work starts.

Each of my paintings have a unique story of their own. They are so unique that when exhibiting I am often asked to explain where they come from. Initially it is a feeling I get when I see shapes in nature. That feeling triggers off many thoughts and memories in a seemingly random manor. Deep within it is small elements that stimulate the initial image. As I am painting other thoughts and ideas come to me in an almost unending thread of consciousness. I try my very best to condense that down to two or three small sentences, easy to digest at a busy art fair and tantalising enough for the viewer to want more. Visit me on Stand 55 @artsurrey and I will try my best to put my story into more concise words. . . . #vaaworkingartist #oilpainting #art #artfair #surreylife #epsomdowns #epsomracecourse #octoberartfair #surreyart #galleryart #vigogallery #artlovers #artbuyers #artcollectors #uniquepaintings #artstory #buyartfromartists #artistsoninstagram #uniqueart #womanstyle #womanartist #blue #trees #collectart #artforyourhome #artimaginationcreativity #imagination #imaginativesurrealism #surrealism #beautifulbizarre

A lovely afternoon in London yesterday at the inaugural Creative Collection event, organised by @old_gregorians at the Duke of Sussex pub near Waterloo. Fascinating to meet other creatives of so many different genres and learn about their individual journeys. In life we often have unexpected opportunities that come from surprise connections. All part of life’s rich tapestry and food for learning and inspiration. And what better way to spend a hot afternoon than in the shade of a lovely pub in interesting and stimulating company making new friends. . . . #art #networking #artnetworking #waterloostation #oldgregorianevent #downsideschool #meetnewpeople #opportunities #creativeopportunities #artsurrey2023 @artsurrey #pubtalk #friends #vaaworkingartist #vaa #downsidecreativecollection

I’ve been a bit quiet on here recently. Well, a weeks break in Yorkshire and juggling several balls on my return. Preparing for @artsurrey 6,7,8 October, @artatheartruh also October, @totterdownarttrail @shakespearetotterdown 18/19 November alongside supporting the various groups I’m involved in. Plus joining a group of creatives based in London this week, not looking forward to the predicted 30 degree heat! At least life is not dull and every connection is an opportunity.

My current work in progress. Oil on canvas and close to completion. I start with a basic idea in my head. More often than not the idea will coalesce as I am painting. The basic elements will form into something more tangible, that will lead my imagination into forming links with other elements in life. Many of my ideas will start in nature which I believe connects many emotions and experiences we have. I use other symbols in our world to describe those connections. I admit it. I have an particularly imaginative imagination and not all these connections are always apparent. All I desire is to create an image that makes you feel good, and somehow resonates with you. If it does, I have achieved my aim. . . . #art #imagination #tuba #musicandnature #feelgood #oilpainting #tree #landscape #surrealart #surrealism #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #weirdart #uniqueart #originalartwork #originalartist #gothicart #colour

OK can’t decide which frame should I use? So hard to decide frames. I do feel my work benefits from a frame and almost always I opt for a fairly wide black. However I’m not always sure my potential buyers do so I thought I’d try the thinner one. But I’m still drawn towards the wide one. Your thoughts please 🙏🏻 . . . #framing #frameyourart #finishingtouches #oilpainting #finishedart #art #contemporaryart #fineart #fineartframes #neurodivergentartist #surrealart #surrealart #surrealism #carolinewalshwaringartist #vaaworkingartist @artsurrey #tree #treeart #pinkbird #framingart #blueartwork #treeartwork #dreamart #restfulart #decorativeart #interiorart

I’ve been a little quiet over the last few days recovering from a lovely but tiring week with @fromeopenarttrail @vicarage_st_gallery_foat which was very successful for me. Apart from putting away all my paraphernalia I’ve been working on a private commission. It’s a surprise so I can’t show it here but the image gives an idea of my sketching style. All will be revealed soon after the surprise had been presented. In the meantime I have lots of ideas I’d like to make a start on so many busy weeks ahead. . . . #art #sketching #commission #drawing #artsurrey2023 #shakespearetotterdown #carolinewalshwaringartist #newideas #newpaintings #resting #surpriseart #surprisegift #cartoon #fromefestival #fromeartist #somersetartist #women_artists #womeninarts

“The Right Address”. This is a painting I created some years ago now. A little play on the words dress and address just for those who didn’t realise. I love this piece, it was a flight of fancy, a bit of fun. Cocking a snoop at the postcode lottery of the housing market which despite interest rates and mortgage costs still seems as relevant today as it was when I painted it. . . . #housingcrises #house #home #oilpainting #location #locationlocationlocation #fineart #surrealism #contemporaryart #modernart #pink #address #womeninart #women #dress #couture #couturedress #carolinewalshwaringartist #fromeopenarttrail2023 #shakespearetotterdown #bristolart #studio74contemporaryart #vaaworkingartist #vaamember #interiorart

Phew, with this hot weather I’m reminded of one of my older paintings “Tequila Sunset”. When I was young, free and single and working away at a hard, stressful and to be frank rather meaningless job my favourite escape was my summer holiday. This always involved those essential ingredients of sun, sea and sand and in those days I liked nothing better than roasting on a hot sunbed. Rounding my day off with a few healthy cocktails. Ah those were the days. I’m older and wiser these days with factor 30 to hand and usually one or two drinks suffice. I enjoyed celebrating and remembering those days when for two weeks I could forget the phone, computer, dull meetings and paperwork. . . . #freedom #rest #relax #relaxwithart #memories #goodmemories #happytimes #sunseasand #oilpainting #fineart #contemporarysurrealism #contemporaryart #carolinewalshwaringartist #vaaworkingartist #orange #tequila #studio74contemporaryart #uniqueart #imagination #dreams #artist #greatart #paintwithlove #paintings #paintingsforsale

Still untitled, I did finally finish this one.

Finished. This will be @fromeopenarttrail this year but not for sale yet. Oil paint needs to dry for 6 months before varnishing and framing, both of which help to preserve the painting and it’s vibrancy for many, many years to come. It will last longer than your TV, PC, phone, sofa and be much cheaper to buy. Bringing you many hours of pleasure for years to come.

Finishing off this new painting. Inspired by simply seeing a pigeon in the apple tree outside my kitchen window perfectly framed by the branches and looking out towards a beautiful spring sky, Often my inspiration is as simple as that, I see it, I have to paint it! . . . #galleryart #carolinewalshwaringartist #vaaworkingartist #oilpainting #surrealoilpainting #surrealism #artist #arts #bluesky #inspiration #spring #springinspiration #springinsomerset #somersetwildlife #birds #apple #appletree #interiordecorating #artforyourhome #artfair #artfashion #peacefulart #restfulartinteriors #restfulliving #calm #artcollector #maddoxgallery #cliffton #shakespearecollective #totterdown

Just thought I’d have a look at some pieces over the years. It’s always interesting to see how our work has changed and progressed. . . . #art #artistsoninstagram #carolinewalshwaringartist #surrealoilpainting #galleryart #artprogress #brightcolour #lotsofblue #lotsoflove💕 #contemporaryart #modernart #luxuryhomes #luxuryart #brightspots #interiordesign #artforsale #artforyourhome #artcollectors #thursday #thursdayfeeling #uniqueart #uniquepainting #emergingartist #womanartist #vividart #vividwork #ukartist #surrealoilpainting

Apologies for the lack of updates but I’ve been a bit ick for a few days. Not the dreaded covid just a very bad fluey cold. All better now. So to keep you interested here are a couple of pics of my latest piece, it’s not finished yet and I have a rather sexy reel in the making for when it is. I think@it is always fascinating to see the progression of a piece from start to finish. All artists work differently and that is just one of our strengths. I just wanted you to know I am not resting on my laurels! . . . #art #vaaworkingartist #galleryart #carolinewalshwaringartist #surrealoilpainting #surrealism #bird #birdpainting #progress #workinprogress #tree #spring #newart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #surrealoilpainting #supportartists #originalartwork #fineart #interiordesign #artgallery #artcollector #blueart #birdart #treeart #collectableart #womanartist #dailypainting #dailyart #contemporaryhome #visualartassociation

Just in case you thought I had forgotten, I am still working on this piece. However, as often happens with me, I have reached a crossroads. I am very pleased with lots of elements of this but somehow the overall image is not giving me the impact I wanted it to. I know what it’s about, I even have a title swimming around my brain. My work turns heads, and I feel this one will only get a slight glance. So I have a big decision to make with regard to one particular element. My dilemma being that, on its own, I love that element, but in the context of this painting it’s not working. This is my decision though because it’s my work, so you will just have to wait and see…. In the meantime, I have started something else to take my mind off it for a while. More about that later??? . . . #oil #oilpainting #originalart #uniqueart #artbyme♥️ #contemporaryart #modernart #neurodivergentart #blue #tree #surrealism #newsurrrealism #carolinewalshwaringartist #womenartists #artforyourhome #artfairs #londonart #londonartscene #vaaworkingartist #originalartist #luxuryart #artlife #luxlifestyle #artshows #arts #artlove

When I am not painting I am often looking for new ways to promote my work. So I took a look @society6 and have been updating and editing my products on there. I've managed to make a few of them available as mugs, I've always thought my work might look good on ceramics, what do you think? . . .#society6 #society6artist #ceramics #oilpainting #promotion #marketing #incomestreams #vaaartist #vaaworkingartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #contemporaryart #modernart #auntiegillie #kvhscreative #artsurrey #blue #sky #art #artist #womenartists #fromeartist #ideas #artideas 😊

I’ve added to the bird on this one but the balance is still not right so I’m thinking of doing something drastic. I@just thought I would let you know that I haven’t fallen asleep. While posting I just wanted to mention that I still have work @shakespearetotterdown in Bristol with @auntiegilli of the Kane Gallery. Just small pieces but I do think my work is so much better seen in person so why not @visitbristol . . . #workinprogress #oilpainting #bird #tree #bristol #galleryart #artist #womenartists #blue #buyartfromartists facetofaceart #fridayart #artistsoninstagram #surrealism #dreamworks #localart #somersetartist #carolinewalshwaringartist #vaaworkingartist

A bit more done on this yesterday. I love working this way where I have a vision in my head and work to get it into canvas. Lots of people like to imbue some sort of metaphor into my images. However I wonder, does art need to mean anything? Can it not be created purely for the purpose of creating something that inspires a sense of beauty in the mind? A feeling of calm and imagination. I do wonder if subconsciously I am drawing on my experiences and knowledge, I probably am. I create because I can, the process makes me feel good, I like to share it with others and if someone is moved enough to buy my work I feel I have found a kindred spirit. And on a totally practical point a sale help me create more and share more 🥰 . . . #art #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #carolinewalshwaringartist #vaaworkingartist #beautifulbizarremagazine #bizarreart #uniqueart #bristol #kanegallery #karenvanhoeysmith #bristolgalleries #gloucestergallery #birminghamgallery #birds #trees #medievalart #surrealism #escapistart #galleryart #blueart #treeart #lovetrees #lovepainting #mindfulness #shakespearetotterdown

Taking a break from the blue painting as I feel I need to think about it for a while. So while I think I’ve gone back to playing with ink on paper. Yes, I am a bit obsessed with trees, they have so many possibilities and for me represent growth and regeneration. Plus the more we look at them hopefully the more we all plant. Anyway, I’m enjoying seeing what I can do with ink, it too has many possibilities. . . . #ink #inkpainting #art #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #linedrawing #blackandwhiteart #paintingpleasure #carolinewalshwaringartist #oldbakeryartists #sketching #sketchart #womenartists #bathsocietyofartists #shakespearetotterdown #bristolart #sketchbook #galleryart #fromeopenarttrail

Getting a bit more into the detail now on this image. I am enjoying exploring a whole new style of work. I’m learning I am more patient than I thought and I know more than I thought I did, so that’s all good. I’m enjoying the naïveté and simplicity of medieval plus the hard hitting brutality in some pieces although that is not depicted here. If you are enjoying this as much as I am keep watching as it grows from strength to strength. . . . #medievalart #gothicart #discoveringart #discoveringheritage #ourheritage #carolinewalshwaringartist #workinprogress #vaaworkingartist #artsurrey2023 #fromeopenarttrail2023 #frome #somersetartist #womenartists #birds #trees #symbolism #mindfulpainting #oiloncanvas #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #newartwork #blue #uniquepainting #unusualpainting #oneofakindart

Still working on this oil on canvas painting and my vision is slowly coming to fruition. It’s fun to explore a tweak in my style very much inspired by finding a book on gothic painting whilst tidying my studio 😅 I’m splitting my time between this and a commission stimulated by my recent pen and ink work. Plus getting through the usual admin that seems part of a busy artists life these days. I like being busy do all good fun. . . . #oilpainting #paintingoncanvas #newwork #carolinewalshwaringartist #gothicstyle #newideas #newinspirations #workinprogress #inthestudio #vaaworkingartist #anartistslife #colour #somersetartist #penandink #commission #surrealart #surrealism #galleryart #exhibitionartist #saatchiart #oldbakeryartists #fromeopenarttrail #artsurrey

After the tension of the last few days it is a relief to return to painting. I count myself so lucky to be able to work at something that brings me so much calm and serenity. I’m enjoying the growth of this piece, it’s taking time but will be worth the patience in the end. Painting allows me to escape from the world for a few hours and think. My mind flows along many pathways in its journey of creativity. . . . #oilpainting #oilpaintingart #art #mindfulart #relaxingart #carolinewalshwaringartist #pathways #mentalpathways #surreslism #mindfulsurrealism #mindfullness #pathways #newart #artistsoninstagram #blue #green #escape #escapistart #somersetpainter #fromeart #womanartists #vaaworkingartist

Detail from a new piece of work, “Life & Balance”, oil on canvas, 30x70cm, POA. In these troubled times we all need something peaceful to rest our eyes upon.

Something for Sunday. It is an interesting and stimulating thing to explore a new medium. I’m terribly pleased with how this peaceful piece grew on the paper as I experimented with different brushes and amounts of ink.

The next stage in my exploration with ink. I have decided that like myself and the world around me this tree will grow and grow. Ever changing and yet, at heart, essentially the same. Is this a journey to find perfection? I don’t believe that is ever possible but that is no reason not to try. Whilst I am not so arrogant to think I may become perfect I do believe I can make my tree better. I welcome you, and your comments on this journey. . . . #art #pen #ink #penandink #artist #artistsoninstagram #frome #fromeart #artistsindialogue #tree #carolinewalshwaringartist #fromeart #fromeartist #journey #artjourney #perfection #reachinggoals #reachingperfection #black #blackandwhite #drawing #painting #paintingwithink #mindfulness

Trees play a significant role in my work appearing in almost everything I do. They serve to represent so much, roots, pathways, connection. I am relishing exploring these connections using ink just now. Each piece further explores my own journey through art. . . . #tree #trees #ink #brush #blackandwhite #drawing #painting #inkpainting #connections #carolinewalshwaringartist #frome #artist #artistsoninstagram #womanartist #exploration #artexploration #roots #newart #newartwork

Ink on paper, for “In the Moment” board, created for @artists.in.dialogue. I’ve entitled this “in Every Moment”. It’s how my brain works, so many images jumbling around my head in a whirlwind of thoughts. Sometimes an overwhelming flood of worries, ideas, musings and whatnot!

I must apologise for not posting recently but life has been a little full. There has been a wedding, a short break, two birthdays, family time and now the funeral of a dear friend. So my mind has been elsewhere. I thought I would post these as a taster prior to @contemporaryartfairs Surrey where I will be on stand 117. All good for my creativity.

We, the family, had a little jaunt to the east coast of North Yorkshire. A well needed break, full of inspiration for new work and ideas. Aren’t clouds the most amazing things.

With a little lull between exhibitions and off for a spot of r&r shortly I am spending my time updating my www.saatchiart.com profile.

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to FOAT I go! Setting off to open up Venue 19 in the @fromeopenarttrail today. So pleased that “Inti the Blue” found its forever home this week.

It’s hot thirsty work going to see the artists in this years @fromeopenarttrail so take a drink of water with and stroll gently around.

An artist enjoys nothing more than talking about their work.
