Sylvia suggested that perhaps not everyone had seen Ruth Dolan's tribute to Thea Cable, on the gallery a little while ago, and wondered if I might say something. Thea sadly died, after a debilitating brain illness, recently: heroically, she continued to paint one-handed for as long as she could, and posted those pictures here on the Gallery. This painting, one of my favourites of hers, was posted in, I think, 2015 - before she became ill. Inspired by the watercolourist Charles Reid, of whom Thea was a great fan and with whom she studied, it's Thea Cable at her best, I think.

I didn't know that. So sad.... Thea certainly will be missed. I very much liked her colourful paintings. She always was so optimistic. Thanks Robert for letting us know.

So very sad to hear that Thea has died. She was such a talented artist and an inspiration to the water colourists on this website. Sarah B

It's genuinely very touching to see how many remember Thea - thank you all so much for all your memories: we won't forget her.
