An established Welsh artist is exhibiting at y Galeri, Caerphilly in South Wales until June 20. "Proud to be Welsh" features a mix of established and new Welsh artists. Bert Evans from Port Talbot is showing eight of his paintings here. "In my paintings, I never set out to consciously to make the everyday special but I realise the things that I notice and find interesting are often overlooked by others," says Bert. "So if I can persuade others to look again and share my enthusiasm a little, then I feel I've achieved something. Moreover, it's the effect of light on a subject that really drives me into the studio each time. Working with a limited palette of colours and economy of strokes helps me to achieve things simply and directly." Bert Evans studied painting at Newport under the guidance of people such as Selwyn Jones and Jack Crabtree. Bert exhibits in several galleries in south and south west Wales.
