Clive Wakeford's latest creation is not so much art-y as art-tree.

The Colchester-based artist has painted a tree, but it is not on canvas and not on show in any of the town's galleries.
The piece, entitled Arborgan, is, in fact, a dead cherry tree in the grounds of his local, the Rovers Tye, in Ipswich Road, High Woods, Colchester.
Being bengal rose in colour, it is turning the heads of customers, passing pedestrians and motorists.
"It is the first one I have done," he said.
"I have planned it for a long time and this was the first opportunity I got. I wanted it in a very public place so everyone would see it."
