SOLACE OF PLACE - Exhibition of Paintings by Jean Jones

The Brownston Gallery is delighted to once again show works by the late Dartmoor painter, Jean Jones.   

Married to John Jones, an Oxford Don, Jean loved to escape the pressures of academic life by spending as much time as possible at Yellands, their hideaway cottage on the edge of Dartmoor.  Yellands became Jean's place of refuge and from there she painted much-loved and familiar scenes including the nearby Ringmoor Standing Stones, the China Clay Pit, the River Plym as well as neighbouring fields and farms. Solace of Place is packed with Jean’s bright and vivid depictions of the unique landscape of Dartmoor and reveals how important this area was to Jean over the years.

The private view is being held on Saturday, 26th October from 2-4pm and everyone is welcome.   Otherwise the gallery is every day from 10am - 5pm,  except Wednesday when it closes at 1pm and Sunday when it is closed all day.  

To make an appointment outside these hours you can email art@brownstonart.com or telephone 01548 831338.
