Any proceeds from the sale of artwork on display – produced by artists from in and around Bicester – went towards See Saw, a charity that provides support for children when they have been bereaved or when somebody close to them is terminally ill.

Mr Perryman organises an event like this every May, during the artweeks period, but day-to-day he runs Dragonfly Framing, a bespoke framing store in Bicester.

Oxfordshire Artweeks has been running since May 6 and will end on may 29.
