Rainbows and emojis on toilet rolls have been bringing some cheer to residents at Abbeyfield’s Ivy House in Wellington.

Manager Alisha Cordy asked Susie Summers to paint a rainbow on the lounge window to raise spirits and show support for the NHS.

Resident Joyce Botting painted her own rainbow to put in a window and Pamela Long sat to watch for support.

Talented artist Susie has also painted emoji faces on toilet rolls which she has placed around the house for residents to find for a bit of fun.

Susie, who is originally from Middlesex, was about 30 when she started to try and paint watercolours but when she moved to near Minehead she fell in love with Exmoor and used acrylic paint on canvas.

She puts her heart and soul into every painting and each picture takes a long time to finish. Susie, who first trained as a dress designer and then became a full-time dress-maker, has sold some of her paintings in the past.
