Solace of Place – Exhibition of Paintings by Jean Jones

SOLACE OF PLACE – EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY JEAN JONES at The Brownston Gallery, 36 Church Street, Modbury, Devon PL21 0QR from Saturday, 26th October – 16th November 2024

We are delighted to once again show works by the late Dartmoor painter Jean Jones. Married to John Jones, an Oxford Don, Jean loved to escape the pressures of academic life by spending as much time as possible at Yellands, their hideaway cottage on the edge of Dartmoor. Yellands became Jean’s place of refuge and from there she would paint much-loved and familiar scenes including the nearby Ringmoor Standing Stones, the China Clay Pit, the River Plym as well as neighbouring fields and farms.

Solace of Place is packed with Jean’s bright and vivid depictions of the unique landscape of Dartmoor and reveals how important this area was to her over the years.

The gallery is open every day from 10am – 5pm, except on Wednesday when it is open from 10am – 1pm and Sunday when it is closed.
