ARTIST DONATES EXCLUSIVE WORK FOR CHARITY CARDS
CELEBRATED Plymouth artist Brian Pollard has created an exclusive design which will adorn Christmas cards raising money for St Luke's Hospice this festive season.
The new charity Christmas cards, available in all St Luke’s shops, show a joyful winter scene capturing the magic of Plymouth in the show which has been created by Mr Pollard exclusively for the Plymouth-based charity.
A longtime supporter of the hospice, Mr Pollard picked out one of his favourite views of Plymouth for this year’s Christmas card; a snowy scene looking out across the Hoe, with Smeaton’s Tower, Brittany Ferries, balloons in the sky, and people enjoying a joyful winter's day.
"I’ve taken a bit of artistic licence," he said. "But I've included the main features that brighten the painting up."
His signature style brings a sense of charm to the cards, celebrating the community of Plymouth and all that it represents.
