A Hampshire art exhibition racked up artwork sales of more than £3,200.

Alresford Art Society's event, supported by Hellards estate agents, saw Richard Cox of Old Alresford win big.

He not only won the People's Choice award, where 625 visitors chose their favourite exhibit, but also walked away with the Best Acrylic title with his painting of the Itchen at Itchen Stoke.

Other winners included Clifford S’Souza for Best Floral with his Snowdrops piece, Jacky Snowdon for Best Oil with Caracoli Coffee.

Emma Barker with her Mackerel for Best Mixed Media, Jen Boardman's Robin for Best 3D, and Cat Mills for Best Watercolour with A Mother’s Love, were also winners.

The past Mayor Cllr Angela Clear stepped in to open the exhibition.

Cllr Clear appreciated the artwork, admitting she "couldn’t draw a straight line with a ruler".

Society president Sue Gentry spoke about the hurdles overcome for the event, caused by the building being used as a polling station at the General Election on July 4.

She said: "We had to set up in record time too. We couldn’t get into the building until early morning with opening scheduled at 10am.

"However, our new hanging team, headed by Charly Savory, rose to the occasion and we were able to open the doors with minutes to spare."
