An 82-year-old care home resident who draws every day will now share his artwork in an exhibition at the home.
Douglas Jardine, who lives at St Mark's Care Home in Deckham, Gateshead, has been creating art since he was a boy. Now the carers at the home encourage his passion, bringing him photos for inspiration so that he can do drawings for them.
Douglas wanted to be an artist from the age of eight, however he became a plumber in order to make money but he continued his art as a hobby.
