THE talents of local artists were in the frame in Shelley.

Shelley Art Group staged its annual exhibition.

Around 40 artists displayed their paintings, pottery and craft work.

The event included a special preview evening with live music.

On the following day there were demonstrations and refreshments.

Most of the work on display was for sale.

The group was started in the summer of 2004 by a small group of painting enthusiasts in the village.

The group now meets every week in the village hall.
