Graham Murray

When in London I visited a couple who wanted to show me

some works by the late Graham Murray. Graham was a cousin

of my father and was responsible for persuading my dad to let

me go to art school. He was a friend of Stanley Spencer and

Spencer stayed with Graham and Charlotte when he was doing

the war time Clyde ship yard paintings.

This little painting reminded me of a wall of paintings I'd seen

the day before at the Hockney exhibition in the RA.
