ALCESTER'S art haven opened its doors for another live demonstration by an aspiring artist.

Leroy Henry, cousin of the famous Midlands comedian Lenny Henry, spent Saturday at Venue Xpresso, producing art for passers-by.

His work has been on show at the High Street shop for several weeks and owner Carol Lane said it had been another great chance for residents and visitors to pop in and see an artist at work.

"It was brilliant, we had an awful lot of people and these events seem to be getting more and more popular each time," she said.

"It was nice to see Leroy doing abstract art, it was something different for people in the town."

She said he had produced an abstract picture of St Nicholas Church and added prints of the same picture were set to go on sale over the Christmas period.
