A 'fusion' of oil palette paintings and watercolours

Marc England is exhibiting water colours of Malta scenes as a guest artist of John Borg Manduca, who is displaying a number of his oil palette paintings.

The joint exhibition is being held at Arte Gallery in St Augustine Square, Victoria.

Mr England's watercolours provide a foretaste of a large solo exhibition Mr England intends to hold next year.
