A successful art exhibition, featuring coastal paintings by local artist, Jon Young, was held over three days at The Keys in St Martins.

Over 100 visitors came to enjoy the beautiful seaside paintings at the first event of its kind in the village.

The close local collaboration included the artwork by Jon Young, hospitality of John Smout of The Keys, plants loaned by Sheila Baines of Pentre Nursery and advertising A-board lent by Morgans Decorators Merchants' manager Russ Swannick. The seaside themed flower arrangements were kindly donated by Stans Superstore, designed by florist Sue Hulme and raffled off in aid of British Heart Foundation.

Jon Young Art can next be seen at Ellesmere Craft Fair on November 4 and the Ellesmere Winter Festival on November 30 in the Market Hall. If you missed the Coastal Exhibition, these paintings will be on display again at the Heritage Centre in Oswestry throughout February.
