Lorna at the best shop in the world

During Artweeks, Lorna Marrison will be exhibiting her paintings at Evenlode DIY, an old-fashioned hardware store on the High Street in Eynsham. Lorna has chosen the shop as not only her venue but also her inspiration. Helpful staff, lots of useful things to buy, friendly local characters and great supporters of local artists; the shop is an attraction in its own right, made even more worth a visit with the addition of Lorna's creations.

Fellow Eynsham artist Jane Tomlinson, dubbed it "probably the best shop in the world" on her recent hand-drawn map of village  - and the name has stuck.

Check out Lorna's carefully-drawn, detailed paintings and drawings. They're delightful.

Paintings at probably the best shop in the world

'Rainbow over Evenlode DIY'
by Lorna Marrison
canvas, acrylic, oil
18cm x 12cm- £75.00

Much of artist Lorna Marrison's inspiration comes from Eynsham. She especially likes to paint local views and takes care to notice the little things, or find a different way of seeing something.

Here's a view of a rainbow over Eynsham's popular DIY shop on the High Street. You can get everything you'll ever need at Evenlode DIY - from a ball of string, a bracket for a shelf or a bag of bird seed, to custom mixed paint, an inner tube for your bike or a Christmas tree. You'll also get a smile and the sort of customer service that other shops can only dream of!

Fellow artist Jane Tomlinson thinks it's "probably the best shop in the world" and it features prominently on her Map of Eynsham.


Lorna will be exhibiting her work during the Eynsham Winter Artweekend in the window of Evenlode DIY.
