Pictured above, Upper Basildon painter Nick Schlee, one of the Open Studio artists open to visitors this weekend. "I try to convey my excitement before the landscape by emphasisng its colour and rhythms. These lead the viewer's eye across and into the picture to share my enjoyment" Visit his studio at Galvey, opposite the Beehive Pub during the day on Saturday and Sunday, where you will recognise many Ridgeway and Thames scenes on his large-scale canvases. More than 70 studios are open at some point this weekend, spread across the district and into North Hampshire and East Wiltshire.
