AN Alcester artist has mounted an exhibition at the town's library featuring horses in action.

Ada Gaden, a keen horsewoman, has been painting seriously for about 12 years and is half way through a course in fine art at NEW College.

The theme of her latest exhibition is Colour and Movement, which is portrayed mainly through her studies of race horses.

There are 21 paintings on show, most of which have been done in the past year, and many are for sale.

They can be seen during library opening hours.
