ARTISTS with a passion for local landscapes are exhibiting their work in Worcestershire.

They have come together to mark the start of spring by displaying their work at The Gallery and Picture Framing at Bevere, near Worcester, until Thursday, March 30.

One artist, Valerie Briggs, of Worcester, (pictured right) draws most of her inspiration from the county's natural and man-made waterways.

Nigel Groom, (pictured left) of Powick, is a psychotherapist by profession and paints in his spare time. He uses acrylic to create bold and colourful scenes.

They will be joined by other local artists Alan Yates, Robin Holder, Trevor Smith and Michael Salt.

Gallery owner Kim Taylor said: "We are extremely lucky to be surrounded by so much beautiful scenery and to have so many talented artists to interpret it for us."
