ATMOSPHERE 2 is the current exhibition of work by two artists Maggie Shaw and Judy at the Space, Lansdown, starting on Saturday.

Maggie and Judy McKenna first met at art college and have now worked together, shared studios and exhibited together for 10 years.

Whilst technically their work is very different, their work has a certain synergy, a varying interpretation of landscape that is nevertheless complementary.

Both painters respond in their individual way to the landscapes in which they find themselves, the Cotswolds, East Anglia, Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia.

For both artists, their paintings reflect emotional responses to the weather, light and seasons as well as the physical landscape.

The exhibition runs until Thursday, June 18 from 10am-4.30pm, open Sunday.
