Local artist Nigel Fletcher's Spring Exhibition runs from 9th to 25th May this year, part of Oxfordshire Artweeks.

Nigel writes: This year I've been experimenting from time to time with abstract or semi - abstract painting, I can't say I'm an expert at it but really enjoy the process, working with saturated colour and in a completely different way than I'm used to has been fun, frustrating and when it goes well - very exciting! and so I'll be framing 22 and looking forward to showing them to you.

And of course there will be plenty of new figurative paintings of local scenery and painting trips to the Norfolk coast etc.
