Kenilworth artist set to launch new colouring book featuring townspeople who have given much to the community and country over the years.

Di Shores has been assisting the Covid 19 volunteer group by sketching scenes, landmarks, shops and businesses for those elderly residents who have been shielding during lockdown to colour in.

The sketches were included in activity packs given out by the Covid 19 group and have been a great success.

Di said: "Requests for more and more of my sketches kept coming from individual people and businesses.

"I have been thrilled to sketch a range of carnival related pictures for the carnival committee, which has gone onto their website for families to download and colour this week in the absence of the actual event..

"And so was born the Kenilworth colouring book which also features sketches of some local people who have given so much to the community and our country during their own lives and I wanted to recognise them."

The Tree House Bookshop in The Square will stock the colouring book when it re-opens soon.

And a Di will publish a second colouring book in the summer months too.
