As you’ll see there’s a family surname connection here but sadly the same artistic talent didn’t reach my husband or son although it did my stepdaughter who is now in Australia and our niece in Surrey…

So if you are on holiday in Exmoor parts in Somerset and near the picturesque Dulverton, be sure to visit an excellent art exhibition organised by the local Brushford Art Set extraordinaire.

Local artists include Claire Savill, Bruce Heywood, Ines Collett, Jean Frost, John Robins, Rosemary Norman and Mary Jones and their combined exhibits include works in watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel, pen and ink, collage and sculpture – some with a contemporary twist.

The Exhibition is at the Guildhall Centre, Dulverton (above the library) in Fore Street, TA22 9EX and it’s open between Monday 19th to Friday 23rd July between 10am – 4pm, closing at 2 pm on Saturday 24th July.

This is a great opportunity to buy some arty gifts with a difference or to act as mementoes of your summer holiday in Exmoor in 2010.

And if you read this blog after the event by all means email Claire direct via claire@ruralworking.eclipse.co.uk to commission any Exmoor pony or nature related art-work or to ask her about any remaining exhibits.
