One of the most striking paintings in the collection is his lifesize portrait of Audrey Hepburn.

Leck Gallery is in a converted coachhouse in the grounds of The Old Vicarage. It is the first venture into the art world by Janet Nutall, a former probation officer.

Janet said her opening exhibition is a rare chance to see Spanish art of this quality in the region.
