New Artist, Walter Holmes, has been painting most of his life and adeptly uses a wide variety of media. The gallery now has a range of his originals and prints. He manages to catch the atmosphere of a scene by his use of impressive perspective, light, colour and detail.
Due to me having covid 19 the gallery was shut this last week. It will reopen on Wednesday 11th May. It was a mild dose but still testing positive.
