One of the paintings depicts the balustrade in front of the teahouse in the park’s grounds which was set on fire in an arson attack in 2016.
The second painting shows some of the buildings in a beautiful landscape.

It took Mr Fletcher around four days in total to do each painting.
The paintings have been revealed as the park celebrates 125 years of being a place for celebrations and strolling through the picturesque scenery.
Mr Fletcher will be selling the paintings, complete with frames and ready to hang.
If you are interested in purchasing one or both paintings, you can contact Mr Fletcher via email on water.colour1@ntlworld.com
