Judith Davison, who has created a calendar featuring scenes around Earby to help the mental health charity Mencap
Earby artist Judith Davidson has combined her love of painting and the environment to raise money for a local mental health charity.
Judith, who has lived in Earby for 30 years, produced a calendar of local paintings and donated the proceeds to the Burnley, Colne and Nelson branch of Mencap.
“Earby has some gem locations and is surrounded by stunning scenery,” said Judith. “One of the pleasures of producing these paintings has been the little anecdotes local people have shared with me, which have been triggered by a certain scene.”
Some of the calendars have also been sent abroad.
