My Great Grandfather

Comments

Lovely memorial to your great grandad Gary, fascinating to read that you drew this in tinted charcoal as well which has worked perfectly here, lovely to read a little about his life as well

Great painting Gary! Such a lovely looking gentleman your great grandfather was. You are lucky to have a photo of him, I know only the name of mine.

Derwent tinted charcoal on ingres paper. Arthur George Bane (1863-1932) was my great grandfather and the photo this came from is all I have of him. I know he was a shoemaker and had his own shop in Norwich and then passed on his skills to my grandfather.
