You are cordially invited to After The Storm - an exhibition of landscapes in oils, watercolours, sepia, and line & wash between 24th May and 8th June 2008. To be held at Burlton Cottage, Shillingstone, Dorset DT11 0SP as part of the open studios event of Dorset Art Weeks, the venue will be identifiable by signs and a banner at The Cross, Shillingstone and open 10 - 5pm daily (except Sunday mornings and all day Mondays).

The purpose of the exhibition is to introduce the new Light & Water period of my work. £50 art features the first handful of examples of small, collectable original drawing and watercolours on handmade paper bearing my watermark. Another feature will be the first exhibition of the theme painting After the Storm and the first few oils on Dorset oak panels (seasoned after the storm of 1987). One of two oils on Dorset elm panels may be released for the first time - from a specific tree in 1976. The new work on deckle-edged paper and panels does not need framing in the full conventional sense.

This will also be an opportunity for anyone needing to examine a painting 'in the flesh' as it were. However this can be arranged by appointment at other times for anyone able to visit Dorset (email clive@clive-edwards.com ).

In some cases there is a bonus for buying a painting in Dorset and taking it home youself. Many are framed to exhibition standards - some double-mounted, glazed and framed watercolours; substantial mouldings on oils. In a few cases the frame is integral to the painting. The value extends from the tens to a few hundred pounds. By collecting such a work you therefore gain a frame free of charge (such paintings are identified as framed in the gallery).
