HOLMFIRTH artist Ashley Jackson hands over a landscape painted on to a Curlew for the “Flights of Fancy” exhibition celebrating the Grassington festival to John Benson.

It was one of a number of works of art depicting Curlews by other artists which will be on display throughout Grassington from June 19 to July 4.

Ashley said he was extremely proud to have been asked to create a unique piece of art which will be auctioned after the festival to provide funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association.
