           <description><![CDATA[  Arresting images of an English meadow by day and night are a compelling feature of this year’s Summer Exhibition at the Dadbrook Gallery, in Cuddington, near Thame.

           <description><![CDATA[  Red kites swooping over Fillington Farm, at Piddington, near High Wycombe, suggest an avian theme for Art of Africa (until Sunday) at Fillington Farm, Piddington. Gemma Orkin’s elegant, handmade
  ceramic bowl boasts a long-tailed Sugar Bird, the pen and ink lines suggest feathers while its maroon coloured claws clasp a spiky branch. Also from the Cape, Sonya Moore’s serene hand-thrown
  platter Bird on a Wire displays her signature design, a bird etched out of the delicate celadon glaze.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Claude’s 1648 painting Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba proved too much for J.M.W. Turner. He apparently burst into tears when he first saw it. The busy Italianate harbour scene
  painted in exquisite detail, illuminated by a tranquil rising sun placed fractionally off-centre, captivated the young English painter.

           <description><![CDATA[
  In celebration of Artweeks’ 30th anniversary, photographer Simon Murison-Bowie has photographed 30 Oxfordshire artists at work in their studios, his intention being to explore the interaction
  between those creating, their personal workspace and the tools and methods they use to produce their work.

           <description><![CDATA[
  High standards, skill and imagination are here in abundance in the Gallery in Bampton. Printmaker Susan Wheeler brings out beautifully the underlying structure of Wittenham Clumps, from Castle
  Hill, in linocut, a medium that lends itself to linear forms. She, in common with many artists like Paul Nash, captures a moment in time of this changing landscape.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Oxfordshire Artweeks celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. It had a comparatively modest start: a single week with a small number of mainly city-based artists taking part. It now runs for
  three weeks, with well over 1,000 artists taking part across the 1,005 square miles of Oxfordshire, with each week focusing on a different part of the county Those taking part in Artweeks range
  from highly experienced and well-known artists to beginners, both adults and children, making it a celebration of the huge range, wealth and variety of creativity that exists in the county. And
  similarly, we, the visiting public will range from seasoned enthusiasts to interested newcomers, all keen to experience the arts in their widest sense.

           <description><![CDATA[
  The photograph on the right of The Big Book beside its sculptor, Diana Bell, demonstrates well the magnitude of the work itself and makes reference to the scale of the interactive project that Bell
  has created via the book. The book is beautifully executed and its old-fashioned binding is adorned by just one word: Imagine. The book’s binding opens to reveal canvas pages on which the public
  have been invited to write what they do or want to imagine. The universal appeal of the project is testified to by Bell’s estimate that the book contains entries in 64 languages.

           <description><![CDATA[  This exhibition brings together 12 artists each exploring what love means to them. Kay Jamieson takes as her theme the Oxford Canal, where indeed she met love. Working in acrylics she captures the
  gentle pace of both the canal itself and the boats and barges that use it.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Just a few houses down Pembroke Street from Modern Art Oxford stands a huge, dilapidated building, not much in keeping with the surrounding
  architecture. It’s been empty for a long time, and served for many years as a Post Office sorting depot. Now it’s going to be a “story museum”. I went to see the first show there, and one of the
  directors, Kim Pickin, explained the concept.

           <description><![CDATA[  It’s night time. It’s rainy. A gang of hooded youths race on bikes round their concrete jungle, run and leap over ledges, menacingly circle a pair of white-robed people walking mesmerically past.
  Lumps of rock glow on the pavement. Lumps of sugar are stacked by a Chinese man at a café table. Townspeople amble magnetically towards an empty park bandstand. A searchlight, a spaceship lands
  somewhere out of the pitch black night. A flock of pigeons — spooked? — fly over the town’s gloomy skyline. Something odd is going on. But what? And where?

  Unlike the house of cards in Chardin’s paintings, Waddesdon Manor is unlikely to collapse; and the events planned for this jubilee year should only increase the popularity of this National Trust
  property, near Bicester.

           <description><![CDATA[  Compton Verney, in Warwickshire, has opened its doors to the 2012 season with exhibitions on Impressionism and Gainsborough landscapes, both of which run until June 10. The larger of the two, Into
  the Light: French and British painting from Impressionism to the early 1920s, brings together a range of artists from both sides of the channel — including Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Paul
  Cézanne, Walter Sickert and Vanessa Bell — to present a picture of the important transitions in subject matter and painting technique that occurred during this 50-year period.
