Stranger No56

My Friday people this week is Rachael Burnett a local artist, I was lucky just happened to be looking at Knight No12 as she was showing a friend the Lincoln Knight's Trail Knight No12 "Home Is Where The Heart Is" that she had designed and painted, of course I was in like a shot to have a word and asked if I could take a shot of her and the knight,
Rachael explained it was all hand painted and took approximately 80 hour to complete, the work was carried out in a local shopping centre so the public could see her at work and also other artists painting their creations,
there are 36 Knights are dotted all around the city and will be on show until 3rd September when they will be placed all together in the Castle grounds then auctioned off to raise money for local charities.
That is just so cool.
