Talented local artist Christian Turner, aged 24 from Sandbach, has produced a series of new oil paintings of Nantwich.
His latest oil paintings feature: a Battle of Nantwich re-enactment, Churche’s Mansion, Nantwich Aqueduct carrying the Shropshire Union Canal over Chester Road, Pillory Street, St Mary’s Church, Sweetbriar Hall on Hospital Street, The Bowling Green and Welsh Row.
Christian has previously produced paintings in the town of Nantwich Town Square, Christmas in Nantwich, Cocoa Yard and The Crown Hotel.
All the scenes are available as a greeting card and a postcard and can be purchased from the Nantwich Bookshop and Coffee Lounge (High Street), Special Cards (Market St), Inside Paradise (Oat Market) and Magpie Cards (Cocoa Yard).
A shopping bag and a mug featuring Christian’s painting of Nantwich Town Square are both available from his stall at the monthly Nantwich Farmers’ Market on the town square and via www.christianturnerart.com.
Christian, who has autism, has also painted birds, marine life, geometric patterns and several scenes of Sandbach.
He has been drawing since he was a child and studied A-Level art at Sandbach School.
Christian has a small art studio upstairs in Sandbach Art Room, with some of his artwork available for sale at Art of Framing on Pillory Street in Nantwich.
Christian commented: “I hope that people enjoy my latest artwork of Nantwich.
“I will produce more of my artwork on bag and mug designs in the near future and plan to produce a Nantwich 2019 calendar, which will be available towards the end of this year.”
