An exhibition of new work by north Norfolk watercolour artist John Hurst opens at Salthouse Village Hall tomorrow .

Featuring John's signature landscape and architectural studies, as well as Norfolk-inspired interiors including crab and whelk sheds, the show follows successful solo exhibitions held at the Nicholson Gallery, Holt and Cley Marshes Visitor Centre earlier in the year.

John, who is originally from Epworth, Lincolnshire, has lived at Salthouse with his wife Jacqui, since 1995. He has worked on numerous commissions, with patrons including cricketer Ian Botham - a former neighbour - and the Earl of Yarborough, for whom he produced a series of 50 paintings.

He published his autobiography, Watercolour Words, in 2000, and, in 2003, completed a collection of Wesley heritage studies which formed the framework for his book, John Wesley, a Pictorial Journey.

A series of his watercolours selected as the focus for a devotional book produced by the World Methodist Council in North Carolina were completed in the Blue Ridge Mountains last year and copies of the book will be on show at Salthouse.

John, who regularly exhibits work on behalf of Holt Rotary Club, has sold work in aid of Glaven Valley Caring Society and recently donated prints to an exhibition held at Cley Nurseries in aid of the British Heart Foundation

The exhibition, which runs at Salthouse Village Hall until August 31, is open daily from 10am-4pm.
