A TASTER of the north Essex countryside is available at three different galleries thanks to the work of a Colchester artist.

Graham Webber, of London Road, has six oil paintings on show at the Lime Tree Gallery in Long Melford depicting views of Alresford Creek, West Mersea and Dedham until August 15.

At the same time the artist is showing three works in the Beside the Seaside exhibition at the Island Artcafe on West Mersea, while two works have been accepted at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in Waterloo.

Graham said: “It’s great to have my paintings up in three different exhibitions. North east Essex is where I have grown up and it is the landscape around here that really inspires me.”
