EXHIBITION - Norma Walton
30/07/24 - 28/08/24
In these paintings, which are often semi-abstract in style, Norma attempts to capture the feeling of the seasons, the exuberance of spring growth, the mellowness of autumn and the changing moods of the sea. She is fortunate to be living near the Jurassic coast where the sea often carries amazing colours; her home is also in close proximity to ancient bluebell woods.
