Free art exhibition on in Stow

ART lovers will be able to enjoy glorious Cotswold scenes when five of the area's top professional artists exhibit 150 of their latest paintings near Stow-on-the-Wold this weekend.

It will be the 13th exhibition by The Dobunni Painters, who work in watercolours, pastels, oils, acrylics and gouache to depict the Cotswolds and other landscapes.

Dobunni, named after Iron Age tribes that colonised the Cotswolds, are Valerie Batchelor, Jane Lampard, Michael Long, Michael Edwards and Andy le Poidevin.

They give demonstrations and workshops for art clubs and societies and their work is regularly exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, The Pastel Society, The Royal Society of British Artists and other London venues.

They will hold their Summer Exhibition at Upper Swell Farm, situated on the B4077 Tewkesbury Road one mile from Stow, from 10.30am-5.30pm until Sunday, July 31. Admission will be free.
