`Out Of The Blue` Exhibition at Lyme Regis from 16th to 24th July 2011

The Malthouse - Lyme Regis

Our resident artists Rita Sugden ne Richardson  and Lyn Marie Whiteman will be featuring their latest creations at the `Out Of The Blue` Exhibition at the Malthouse in Lyme Regis. Doors open from 10.00am until 5.30pm daily.

Rita lives in Lyme Regis where the light is a perfect source of inspiration for her wonderful creations. Added to this, the perfect detail in her work is coaxed through by the constant changing of the light and the stillness and movement of the water. Her work embraces many mediums which are oil and pastel, collage and pencil drawing. Her first love is working in oils. Her work is also exhibited in her gallery in Uplyme.

It's not just the artwork that Rita is renowned for....her other talent is making traditional crumbly fudge. Rita told us "I sold my shop three years ago to `retire`, but my recipe is selling well at County Shows!"

Rita will be having a table of fudge in the Malthouse during the exhibition. You will find it under her trade name Rose Cottage Fudge.

Lyn Marie Whiteman is passionate about art, and very inspired by the beauty and movement of light across land and sea. This is reflected in her paintings. Always loving to capture the fleeting moment. Her chosen medium is mostly oils, watercolours, gouache, pastels, acrylics, acrylic inks, mixed media, watercolour, pastels and charcoal drawings which are worked on stretched Canvas, Canvas Boards, Mount board and paper.


Lyn says "Her artwork is about space, freedom, expansion, light, colour and feeling"

Lyn told us "I worked on this (one of a pair) during last Summer in the garden. The pond just reflected all the colours around".
