THELWALL artist Mike Hoyles became inspired by the surroundings of Arley Hall and Gardens.

Mr Hoyles took some of his students to paint the gardens after selling a painting of Arley Green to Viscount and Lady Ashbrook.

He is now organising painting courses for the autumn and workshops for mid September.
