Visitors to Chorley's Astley Park can now view the work of a popular local artist who has chosen the recently refurbished Coach House to showcase his first solo exhibition.
Michael John Ashcroft, a contemporary artist who was born in Croston, is returning to his roots to give local people and visitors a retrospective insight into the paintings of his art career from leaving college to the present day.
The Michael Ashcroft exhibition is part of Chorley Council's Coach House exhibition program and is on public view in the gallery until Sunday, October 4.
The exhibition is free and is open from 12 noon until 5pm, Friday to Sunday with the last admission at 4pm.
Michael mainly paints in oils with the north of England as his backdrop. The focus of his paintings tends to be sights and buildings around the north west with Michael using natural or artificial light to create strong contrasts.
