This was an exciting challenge both for Ian and the Gallery.  It was a personal interpretation of life at the beginning of a new century and consisted of 75 works on canvas. 
Ian has used Watchet as a base and so included a good proportion of Watchet subjects. 
His interests are wide ranging and he is just as happy painting the landscape and villages as he is painting a pub, cottage or the railway.  He delights in working with people and involving them in the process of making the picture.
