"I find Lesley Slight's paintings mesmerising. They take me right into the spirit of that place,
and how I dream and think of it sometimes..."

Hattie Ellis, Author "Trading Places", "Eating England", "Sweetness and Light"

" Lesley Slight paints the Dorset landscape where she lives and works.
Her paintings build up a panoramic vision of the country around her home
— its hills, fields, sky and woodland.

Slight patiently explores the vastness of the surrounding world,
discovering many different worlds in a single view
— sunrise...liquid mists roll across the fields.. .sunset,
and the dark smudges of trees and hedgerows bar the land.

The colours are vivid and luxuriant,
but the final effect is impressionistic and elusive."

Edward Platt, Journalist and author "Leadville"
