This #painting is from @dorsetmuseum.bsky.social's David Brynley (1902 – 1981) and Norman Notley (1890 – 1980) #archive. It is from one of Notley’s sketchbooks and depicts a face hidden amongst leaves and trees.

As we explore Creative Wessex, this #WessexWednesday we showcase artwork currently exhibiting at @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social.

This etching of Devils Den, Wiltshire, was created by Dave Gunning. It's one of many pieces on display exploring the county’s #prehistoric #landscape.

It’s #WessexWednesday and we’re celebrating #CreativeWessex!

The beautiful landscape of Wessex was a constant source of inspiration for #ThomasHardy. The Victorian writer is best known for his novels, but Hardy was also moved to capture his surroundings through simple yet elegant sketches.
