It's not difficult to be spellbound by the work of Robin Mason and we think he's outdone himself with this collection of new work influenced by a recent visit to Purbeck and Dorset.
His work has a classic feel to it, capturing a busy day at the seaside, a deserted port or children playing on stepping stones or simple still lifes.
Working in either Oil or Pastel, the main emphasis is on light and atmosphere.
His skill is in capturing the senses, evoking the smell of the sea, the squawk of seagulls or the excitement of arriving at the beach.
Robin's work is complemented this month by driftwood sales from maker Merope Pease.
Merope lives inland from the wonderful Northumberland coast on a small farm with her husband, two children, grandchild, two dogs and two cats. "I like the boats to stay looking very much as I find them. I find so many different sorts of pieces and each one is unique but it's always their integral feel, shape and colour that appeals to me."
An eclectic array of striped fabrics is used for the boat sails.
