Talented artists in Bath have created a collection of animals to raise money for charity.

Between them, Jane Veveris Callan, Charlotte Moore, Julia Tickey, and Elizabeth Knott have painted 10 pigs, four elephants, four lions and a dragon.

The beasts are all sculptures that have been painted for various public art projects, including the King Bladuds Pigs in Bath in 2008, the London Elephant Parade, this year's Lions of Bath project, and the Newport Super Dragons scheme in Wales.

Jane said: "Animal sculpture projects are really popular all over the country this year.

"They are a great idea and it's wonderful that they give artists the opportunity to have their work appreciated by such a large number of people.

"They are free for the public to enjoy and it's a pleasure to see children and families have such fun following the trails around the city and spotting the different individual animals.

"There's also the satisfaction we artists get from supporting the charities that benefit from the end results."

The London Elephant Parade scheme aims to raise more than £2 million for the endangered Asian elephant, and will benefit 17 UK conservation charities and more than 10 projects in Asia.
