I notice that in the different interest courses I take and in the various small galleries scattered about here in the boondocks that you will see interesting and strong work everywhere. Unfortunately unless you end up in an area with a well developed artistic community (not where I am, unfortunately) those gems are scattered rather widely. Lots of grassroots interest all over the place, leavened with some exceptional talent here and there. If you like to hang out with senior ladies wielding watercolour brushes you are in for a treat
