The Brownston Gallery is delighted to once again show works by the late Dartmoor painter, Jean Jones.

Yellands became Jean's place of refuge and from there she painted much-loved and familiar scenes including the nearby Ringmoor Standing Stones, the China Clay Pit, the River Plym as well as neighbouring fields and farms. Solace of Place is packed with Jean’s bright and vivid...

Summer means different things to each of us. For some it is a time to escape, to forget the humdrum routine of everyday life, pack the bags, round up the dogs and children, and head for the beach – or the hills! - for a few weeks of sun, fun and frolics.

In this year’s exhibition at The Brownston Gallery Barry presents a collection that particularly portrays the nurturing aspect of summer...
Under the Midnight Sun is a collection of new works that draw on the wonderful light that appears each summer around the solstice, just before the sun sets, when the horizon all but disappears and the landscape becomes hazy and begins to hum before darkness falls.
