| As a muralist, Pru earlier this year,
completed a commission for the Cafe Bar Louise, where she transformed
the toilets with scenes of lavender fields and a vision of a countryside
not to dissimilar to those of Provence. Since 1976 specialising
in Trompe l'oeil she has created many landscapes which you might
feel you could walk into, but are painted into wall spaces of
existing rooms using oils, oil glazes and acrylics, all varnished
for protection. Pru says that she loves creating illusions out
of reality and commissions are welcomed. For more about Pru's...Work:

| On
her stall next door Lynne displays an extensive range of Brixham
and Devon scenes all carefully created in watercolours. Many
works are already framed and now a new range of framed miniatures
are delicate, yet eye catching. Born in Torbay but having lived
abroad for many years says, “It was lovely to return and fall
in love with Devon again.” Self taught Lynne has a passion for
painting, sensitive to shape and colour, a gift which has developed
into her own style. Lynne has exhibited recently with the National
Trust, Royal Horticultural Society and along with David Shepherd
at his latest visit to Torbay. For more about Lynne and her
work... www.lynnepeets.com
Along
with other Shoal members they have recently contributed a piece
of work to the 2008 Rowcroft Hospice Calendar and their work
can be seen in the permanent Shoal exhibition at the Breakwater
Cafe and Bistro, or find them down at the market every Saturday
till October. |
