A painting by David Steeden entitled ‘A Sunny Day in Knutsford’ came first in the people’s choice at the Paint Knutsford competition.
More than 1,000 votes were received from the public.
David sold his painting on the day and donated the proceeds to Breast Cancer Now.
John Mills won second prize for his painting of King Street.
More than 30 professionals and amateurs turned out to interpret the town in a unique event.
Imaginative artists captured iconic buildings, pubs, parks and streetscapes in a competition organised by Knutsford Town Council.
The town was transformed into huge open-air studio as people were able to watch the works of art take shape.
The event coincided with the last al fresco dining day of the year so the streets were buzzing with people.
All the entries were put on display at Knutsford Market Hall, where they were judged at the end of the day.
A spokesman for Knutsford Town Council said: “Thank you for your patience whilst we have counted up the votes across Facebook, email and jotform.
“We received over 1,000 votes for the people’s choice category.
“Congratulations to all the artists who took part.
“The artwork is incredible across the board and we feel very lucky to have so many fantastic artists on our doorstep.”
The council plans to run the competition again next year.
