AN artist is indulging her passion for country pursuits through an exhibition of her work.

Yvonne Preston, of Darlington, a keen horsewoman, is staging an exhibition of drawings and paintings of country sports and animals, in Witham Hall, Barnard Castle, County Durham, from Thursday, November 7, to Wednesday, November 13, between 10am and 4pm each day.

She said: "I enjoy traditional country pursuits such as hunting, and this inspires me to create the paintings. I usually paint after a day in the field."

All her work in the exhibition will be for sale.

Prints and cards of the originals will also be available.
