Lancaster artist Chas Jacobs has an exhibition at the Ashton Memorial this weekend (Saturday 30th November – 1st December) and will be on hand to talk about his work and sign the back of any works sold.

Original paintings, canvases, limited edition prints and cards will be available.

Chas draws his inspiration from the towns and
landscapes of the North West of England; a unique and beautiful area
including Morecambe Bay, the Forest of Bowland and the nearby Lake
District in Cumbria as well as from his holidays in Devon, particularly
Dartmouth, where his interest in boats, the sea and harbours are
reflected in his work. 

He’s been producing images which
reflect the region for over 15 years. Having always lived in the area, he  manages to add a very local feel to the scenes he produces.

Strong primary colours, fluffy white clouds
and often multi-coloured balloons make the paintings instantly
recognisable and fun. If you look carefully, you will sometimes find his
springer spaniel, Rags, in the paintings.
