Summer exhibition in full bloom at the Leyton Gallery

July 2024

What lies at the Water’s Edge? According to this group exhibition, all manner of gorgeous, evocative things, including, above, Tia Connolly‘s I’ll Go There Tonight in My Dreams (watercolour on mylar), below, John MacCallum‘s Muskrat Dreams (acrylic on canvas).

In Tilting I (acrylic on panel), we see a new medium from Malin Enstrôm.
