The Local, usually in print and online, has now also appeared in oil paint. Occasional editorial contributor Peter Young says he slammed out his painting Reading The Local, after the bright colour combination of his wife Sal’s blue homeknit, the reds and greens of Trentham cafe, Chaplin’s, and the white of the newspaper pages, caught his eye. The image will now illustrate his latest Trentham Trumpet column, Sketchy Musings. “The column discusses the importance of The Local and trustworthy local news in this day and age of fake news and toxic tabloid print and electronic media commentators.” Peter said.
