Doreen Tipton star Gill Jordan teams up with painting mentor for exhibition in stunning countryside setting
Artwork from renowned Black Country entertainer Gill Jordan and the man who helped teach her to paint is to go on display at a country house near Brewood.
And it will be a familiar venue for Gill – known for her comedy persona Doreen Tipton – as the beautiful backdrop of Chillington Hall is where she filmed for the television show Time Crashers and did some comedy sketches as her famous alter-ego.
Gill will exhibit some of her paintings with Derek Powell-Jones, who she met whilst performing in Rugeley several years ago.
He had done a portrait of her for a competition in which people were invited to paint the 'Queen of the Black Country', and his work was displayed at the Red Rose Theatre in the town.
It sparked an interest in art and she ended up going to Thursday night classes where Derek was the tutor.
