Eight artists, all living within 15 miles of Eype, have come together to celebrate the colours and landscapes of the Jurassic Coast in a new exhibition.
Wessex Artists will present their work in a show called Kaleidoscope at Eype Centre for the Arts.
It features original prints, paintings and drawings by Alison Boyland, Sally Bowsher, Richard Corbett, Jane Coxhill, Deborah Harris, Tash Hayball, Kate Brookman and Hank Harp.
Artist Richard Corbett, who painted View from Eype Cliffs (pictured), said: “We are a combination of fresh new talent and experienced artists who all met through classes, workshops and the local art community.
“Each person has their own colour palette, and style and Kaleidoscope expresses the multitude of colours in nature, from flowers to landscapes and seascapes, bringing them all together in a celebration of West Dorset.”
Kaleidoscope is on daily until August 2, 10.30am-4.30pm at Eype Church, near Bridport, DT6 6AR.
Artists will be there every day and art is for sale priced from £50-£1,000.
Richard added: “There’s free parking, stunning coast views and the arts centre is very close to Eype beach – so come and make a day of it.”

Imagination Unlocked 7 is an exhibition featuring the work of David Brooke, Caroline Ireland and Elaine Dixon, all painters who work from the imagination but in very different styles and mediums. Be prepared to be taken on mysterious journeys into imaginary worlds, or find inspiration in the extraordinary.
David Brooke’s work is meticulously painted in layers of acrylic paint. His work has a mythological, story-telling feel to it, though his intention is that the viewer will bring their own stories to each painting.
Caroline Ireland’s work often has a dream-like quality in vibrant colours using pastel and watercolour, inspired by dreams, music or poetry, or simply from observation in the form of still life.
Elaine Dixon attempts to paint human emotions, experiences, events, using charcoal, oil paint and ink, playing with the human form to exaggerate shape, shrinking and enlarging, to attempt expression in her own way.
