AN EIGHTY-seven-year-old artist held an exhibition of his work at the care home where he lives.
The walls of Cofton Park Manor Care Home were transformed into a gallery space to honour the lifelong work of resident and artist, Thomas Rowberry.
The team at the care home in Cofton Hackett put on an exhibition of dozens of Mr Rowberry's original paintings, many of which were inspired by his travels across England and Majorca.
Thomas, who formerly worked as a metallurgist, said: "I was overjoyed to see everyone interested in my paintings."
The exhibition was organised by the care home staff and was held in the bistro area and cinema room.
As well as admiring the artwork, guests were able to enjoy canapés and ask Thomas questions about his work.
Wellbeing coach Gail Bessent said: "It was very enjoyable helping Tom create a memorable day to show how talented he is."
Community relations manager Wendy Sibley said: "We were thrilled to rekindle Tom’s artistic passion and display his wonderful paintings for friends, visitors and fellow residents to enjoy."
She said the afternoon was more than an art show; it was a celebration of Tom’s creativity, legacy and the power of community to uplift and honour individual talents.
