LIFE will be a beach at Swindon's Staples store in Greenbridge, Stratton, when young artists create a seascape mural.

The junior artists from the Nythe Primary School, aged five to 11, were having lots of fun producing their masterpiece at the school today.

Staples store manager Roger Goodwin said: "We're delighted to be involved and are eager to encourage children to use their imagination and try their hand at art."

The class has been designed to enable shops landlord Greenbridge and its tenants to create a strong community spirit.

Centre manager Lionel Dicks said: "Who knows, we may discover the next Vincent Van Gogh."

The young artists are being presented with a goody bag to go home with including pens, colouring pencils and a pencil case.
