An accomplished Cotswolds artist is holding her second solo exhibition in Stow-on-the-Wold.

Annabel Playfair will be running her show entitled Colour and Light at The Fosse Gallery from September 8 to September 28.

The show is a celebration of real-life observation in a number of wonderfully colourful and animated landscapes.

There will be around 40 in the exhibition with prices ranging from £800 to £6,000.

From the fields of sunflowers and lavender in Provence, to the seascapes of North Cornwall, the terraced lemon and olive groves in Majorca, to the bluebell woods around Annabel’s home on the edge of the Cotswolds, this show demonstrates the wide range of ideas that has inspired her over the past two years.

Annabel’s new collection of work is all about light, colour and shadow, inspired by the 2016 exhibition at the Royal Academy, Painting the Modern Garden: from Monet to Matisse.

"What drives me when I start a new painting is the form of my subject matter, whether it be a lemon, a gnarled trunk of an olive tree or the shapes and lines of a lavender filed, together with the ever-changing light creating shadows, patterns and reflections and, above all, the intensity of the colour," said Annabel.

The complete exhibition can be viewed online at www.fossegallery.com.

Opening hours for the exhibition are Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5pm.
