A PAINTING by a Wyre Forest artist is expected to fetch £700 when it goes under the hammer on Wednesday.

"The Little River" - an oil-on-canvas piece by Kidderminster Art Society president Robin Jennings - will be auctioned along with more than 100 oil paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints in Shrewsbury.

Mr Jennings said he was a "traditional painter" who used oil and watercolours to capture landscapes, people and animals.
