For more than 60 years, members of the Headington-based Oxford Bury Knowle Art Group have been staging exhibitions. They once added their special touch of colour to the railings of the University Park during the summer. Now they show their work regularly at the Oxford hospitals and prestigious venues such as the North Wall Gallery, in South Parade, Summertown, where their autumn exhibition continues until October 30.

Thirty-six artists are showing a multitude of different styles, which means that those viewing the exhibition should all discover something that they like. Sheila Oliver’s watercolour Bottled Light, for examplecalls on a rainbow of soft hues to highlight a row of oddly shaped bottles.

John Paine’s watercolour Garlic may be a simple study; it is, however, a perfect picture for the food lover who understands the magic that this amazing ingredient can add to a dish.

For those seeking a ‘fun picture’ that will make them smile every time they view it, there’s Wild Things, by Ann Warren, who has combined both watercolours and pastels to produce a wacky combination of colourful dancing shapes that vie with each other for attention.

Calm, studied works that show things as they are, include Peter Lawrence’s Blenheim Park, which highlights a simple little house tucked away deep in the palace grounds. Pilgrimage is a highly detailed and very impressive study in watercolours and ink of pilgrims travelling through a wooded landscape before ascending to the top of the hill, painted by Leslie Durham who adores filling her pictures with people. Christina Bringmann Smith’s Blue Glass and Pottery places a pot next to a small blue glass to demonstrate how the combination of two simple objects can produce a superbly worked picture.

I could go on, as there are so many pictures in this show which deserve comment. Go and see the collection for yourselves – this is an exhibition that cries out for attention.
