Hi everyone this is my dad’s painting. He is self taught and started painting after having to give up his job due to health problems, his first paintings and drawings were very detailed, then we found out he had skin cancer and needed extensive surgery, then sadly he became riddled in arthritis, rather than give up what he loved doing he changed his style. He describes himself as Dali mixed with lowry and his own Chippendale twist. I’m in awe of how he never gives up. We very nearly lost him on New Year’s Day, he just started painting again in July. His paintings are inspired by the northen working class and his experiences of working on the railway x
