Buckinghamshire artists open their doors

I had previously thought that Oxford was unique in having Oxfordshire Art Weeks around the city and county, where artists open their homes and collect together in groups to display and sell their work. But then it seems this might well be normal practice around the country. We were surprised to see a flyer for Bucks Open Studios. We visited the Clare Foundation in Saunderton, just north of High Wycombe, to see exhibitions of over 30 artists displaying their photographs, paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewellery and installations. With so much talent and so many different perspectives it was both inspirational and fun. I think my favourite was the photographer Stuart Feurtado, who appreciates colour and design, and who has travelled extensively in Europe. I particularly liked this close up of a chameleon's tail.
