A lovely and highly personal idea, Abigail, but one that connects immediately to our own passed on loved ones. Lovely.

This is lovely. It was the thought provoking title that drew me to it. I hope you'll frame it and treasure it.

My father passed away aged 90 in June, during the last two years he was house bound and relied totally on the help of carers and his family to enable him to stay at home. I decided to paint a portrait of my Dad using some of the objects that were important to him during those final years. Dad completed the Telegraph crossword every day, enjoyed beating us all at scrabble, and consumed many thousands of Rennies over the years! This is my first proper still life painting. Oil on wooden board 40cm x 30cm.
