Passion for paintings
IF YOU'RE in the mood for love head to the Lander Gallery where the topical Happy Valentines by Fred Yates is among the current exhibitions on display.
The Lander in Lemon Street Market has brought together work by several of its regular exhibiting artists to show a selection of affordable high definition prints including Barbara Karn's humorous animal and bird prints, Heather Howe's paintings of hares and seascapes, Sue Haseman's detailed table-top still lifes and Paul Nicholl's surfers.

The gallery also has a permanent display of Chris Tate's colourful architectural prints of country houses and historic buildings.
For other artists printmaking is an art in itself. Yorkshire artist David Morris has been perfecting the skill of etching for many years, and his dramatic scenes of cliffs on the Lizard or the waves crashing in on Porthmeor beach in St Ives capture the moodiness of Cornwall's scenery which is especially noticeable in these winter months.
The show features two huge woodcuts by Falmouth-based artist Felix Packer – measuring three feet by three-and-half feet.
The art of the linocut is also undertaken by Debbie Prosser and Guy Royle while Kay Wilmot is a ceramicist who uses printing techniques such as photo etching to make both prints and ceramic pictures which combine print and coloured glazes. The exhibition also includes photo etching by Peter Leighton.
To accompany the two dimensional work in this exhibition, there is a selection of Roger Slater's beautiful hand-turned wooden bowls and sculptures.
So start collecting art now with your first print or perhaps find your perfect and unusual Valentine's gift. Prints are available framed or unframed from the gallery.
The exhibition runs until February 23.
