TWO artists have created drawings of Caversham each with a Christmas theme to help spread cheer this December.

The Caversham District and Residents Association (CADRA) came up with a small project to help maintain community spirit.

They invited artists to create black and white drawings of Caversham landmarks and Liz Real and Janina Maher have produced delightful drawings which can be coloured in.

Each carries the message – 'Happy Caversham Christmas'.

They are free to download from the CADRA website for anyone to print and colour in.

Janina features the iconic Caversham Library after Santa has visited with his sack, the lovely 16th century cottages visited by a snowman and Rudolph peering out of the gates of Caversham Court Gardens.

Liz, in her drawings, has ventured through those gates to see carol singers by the tea hut.

The pair of Griffins looking across the grass to the Thames appear decorated for Christmas and St Peters Church has a massive Christmas tree.

Janina Maher, local artist and bookbinder, said: “I have an obsession for drawing buildings and was delighted to be approached by CADRA.

"This is a lovely project and I do hope people have some fun with their pens and pencils colouring them in."

Liz Real who has lived in Caversham for more than 25 years said: “I often use Caversham and particularly Caversham Court Gardens as a source of inspiration.

"I hope that both children and adults have fun with the drawings and fulfil their creative urge as they colour them in!"

Helen Lambert, CADRA Chair said: “We were thrilled with the response from Liz and Janina who have really captured the idea.

"This is a free resource for anyone and everyone and would be wonderful if these could appear in front windows wishing everyone a Happy Caversham Christmas.”
