I've included this gallery page as a tribute to my Grandad, who was a wonderful gentleman and teacher. He loved electronics and technology, so computers and the concept of the world wide web would have intrigued him. Below are some examples of his work in both watercolour and oils, he also worked in pastel and ink with a dip pen but watercolour was his preferred medium.
