LOCAL artist Rod Downing gave a special painting demonstration at Burnham-on-Sea's Coffee Corner Cafe on Tuesday.
Rod specialises in landscape, seascape and figurative art working mostly in acrylic and mixed media, and brought his talents to the cafe in Abingdon Street to give a painting demo to Burnham's aspiring artists.
He also has an exhibition on in the cafe featuring number of paintings, prints and cards which will be on display until Saturday, June 18.
Mr Dowding said: "I moved to Burnham on Sea just over a year ago and am constantly amazed by the dramatic sunrises and sunsets over the Bristol Channel.
"Inspiration comes from anything that catches my eye as a potential painting, this could be a view, an interesting piece of architecture or observing people, although recently most of my work has been inspired by the wonderful Somerset countryside."
