PAINTINGS inspired by journeys on a Number 29 bus are to be sold at auction at Warrington to raise money for charity.
Local artist Jan Newhouse has offered all the paintings in his Route 29 exhibition currently running at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery.
Money raised will go to St Rocco’s Hospice.
Jan lost the ability to drive following several health problems
At first he thought he had lost his independence because he was forced to use the bus to get from Great Sankey into Warrington.
But then he realised that by looking through the bus window he had discovered a whole new world which he had not really noticed before from behind the wheel of his car.
The exhibition is a series of watercolours and oils depicting his “journey” on the Number 29 bus and has become a very popular show.
The auction will take place at the Museum and Art Gallery on Thursday, July 9, starting at 7pm.
