Thank you. I am very proud of my Father's talent. I have so many paintings that I need to hold an exhibition and sell some, but I can not bear to part with them just yet. Yes the Russian women grieving was how I felt when I was holding his hand as he died, and how I felt packing up his paints and canvases, and for many years afterwards

I only cost him a cup of tea I have another painting of me with my guitar that is hanging on my music room wall He was a very sensitive and soulful man but he hid it behind a lot of hurt from his childhood. Yet his sensitivity shows through in his art. You are very insightful
