Barbara Tucks show at Anna Miles Gallery is full of whimsy and inspired brush strokes. She’s in her 60’s but has the eye of a young enquirer. She paints in oil on board and has achieved a technical brilliance in these works that’s hard to replicate even in professional reproductions like these. I really recommend visiting. Tuck takes you on a child’s adventure trail through intricate landscapes, floating islands of pattern and great globules of sweaty colour. I just love this show…It reminds me there’s still so much to discover in paint.

Show runs till 2nd may 09
