At the beginning of August The Businesses Community (TBC) invited the district's budding artists to buy one of its canvases, create a piece of art, and return the masterpiece.

All of the submissions are now being exhibited and included in a silent auction to raise money for Home Start Herts, JDRF and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Founder of TBC St Albans, Sue Wybrow, said: "These charities really need our help. Placing your bids online or coming along on September 20 will really make a big difference so please dig deep.

"Who knows, you may get the next Van Gogh, Warhol or Picasso for your home or office wall. The art will also make a fantastic Christmas gift."
