The Olde Bridge Gallery at Newbridge is worth a visit as the winter approaches. It is a chance to get out and escape the problems of large crowds and the Coronavirus. The Gallery has artworks by David Lake, Wendy Smith and Russell Dawson. David is a painter of the Australian landscape in oils and in a traditional style. He has been an exhibiting artist for 30 years and has been painting on a full time basis since 2002. His new works are worth a visit as can be seen from David's painting.
