Robin Eckardt - Paintings and Prints
For this exhibition Robin is painting Spitfires, the Red Arrows, and Sailing Boats as well as her usual Cityscapes.
Robin Eckardt's dynamic contemporary mixed media paintings are textured and highly tactile with many layers of translucent glazes. Her wonderful New York cityscapes of Times Square reflect her obvious passion for a vast and complex subject; the result is a fusion of movement and energetic spirit in each painting.
Robin completed her BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Bath Spa University College in 2003.
Her work can be seen in the Old Mill Gallery, Worton, near Devizes from 2 - 18 April 2010.
Throughout this period the gallery will be open to the public on Saturdays & Sundays from 10am - 5pm.

Cloth Road Arts Week
ELEMENTALS
Paintings, Prints and Textiles inspired by the English Landscape.
Elementals, formed in 2006, is a group of woman artists who all live and work in Wiltshire. As individuals the members have been exhibiting widely for a number of years. As a group they came together to support each other's artistic development.
The group's last exhibition at the Old Mill Gallery in April 2009 was a popular success.
Jenny Ford
Jan Knight
Julia Leyden
Christine Shorney
Josephine Sumner
The name 'Elementals' was inspired by the Wiltshire landscape with it's Celtic history; it's rolling chalk downs; its standing stones; its circles; its land lines; its waterways; its woods. 'Elemental' artists have a common desire to translate these elements into paintings, prints, collages and textiles.
Like the work of this talented group of women artists Wiltshire is a moving landscape that never fails to surprise and delight.

Described as unique and intriguing, Gerry’s artwork is inspired by the intangible and the incomprehensible - in particular by the invisible ‘activity’ that surrounds us: the spiritual; the atmospheric; and the electronic transfer of data through the airwaves. Much of her work, which includes Wall Hangings, Mixed Media Paintings and Giclée Prints, is created using a raw material and technique developed specifically to visually convey the concept behind her work.
Gerry's exhibition will run for two weekends.
Preview Friday 6th August, Gerry will be in the gallery to meet you from 6pm - 9pm.
Gallery Open:
Saturday 7th August & Sunday 8th August

Watercolours by Bernard Willington.
The gallery will be open for 3 days Friday - Sunday 10am - 5pm daily.
'Creative painting is often the result of responding to obscure instincts which are not possible to identify or analyse.
Clues may be found in earlier work but may also arise from accumulating experiences and exposure to the creative processes of other painters. I am particularly interested in painters who suggest through their work that we share a similar world view, though we may express that view very differently.
My paintings do not carry any specific messages. For the most part they reach for a kind of equilibrium which raises awareness and quietens the mind.
Where this happens the implications can be considerable' .....Bernard Willington.
