A former Mayor of the city was guest of honour at the Lichfield Society of Artists Awards at The Friary.
Doris English was on hand to give out prizes, including the Michael Fabricant Cup for Best Landscape Painting, which went tot the society’s chair Christine Taylor.
Mr Fabricant, who is patron of the society, said: “The creative talent pool in Lichfield and beyond in the wider West Midlands runs very deep and the Lichfield Society of Artists has members from over the whole region.
“I was delighted to award the cup for best Landscape Painting to Christine whose work was very evocative.”
An exhibition of work from the society’s artists remains at The Friary until September 27.
