Connemara

An Oil painting by Percy French hangs on Toby's wall, and I copy this lovely scene from Connemara. Later, I sketch of old Toby painting, despite his recent stroke and loss of coordination at age 90. I enjoy hearing his life story – founding a linen company with his father, helping Belfast citizens during WWII bombings, service for the aged, his Quaker religion, and a prized letter from the Queen. He's a loveable man.
