Men, Beer and Swans

Men, Beer and Swans

A few years ago a friend asked me to paint a picture for his friend with motor neurone disease.They wanted things to auction off to raise money. I asked what he liked and he said “Men, Beer and Swans,” The Swans are a Australian football team, but I wasn’t having any of that, I prefer real swans, and well I’m not too fussed on beer so I painted a sea of beer. But I was quite happy painting the bearded fellows.

    Hi Nicholas,re Beer,Men and Swans—now hanging in our family room in Exmouth, Devon .U.K. having been left it by our son Robert who was the Motor Neurone sufferer.Having now gained ‘THE AIR IS GETTING THIN ‘ from his Grandmother who has just passed away and hanging it also in the family room I was curious about the artist and was thrilled to find you on the web. Cheers Dennis Attwood.

      Hi Dennis, I’m so glad that my paintings are in such good hands. I remember meeting you down at Clovelly. It makes it worthwhile that my art is being appreciated. Thank you
