We had a real treat this week- Nancy Bailey came into the gallery. Here is a photo of her, seated below two of her paintings. She has the happy smile of a lady in her ninety-eighth year! We showed her two of her own paintings of Truro. The painting above her on the left dates from 1972. She recognised it immediately as a view of the old Lemon Quay in Truro, as it was before the area on the right became TESCO and the area on the left was developed into flats and offices. The painting to the right shows a characteristic view of the Cathedral in Truro- most of our customers recognise that but they usually have trouble identifying the fruit and veg shop to the right (It was HODDER'S!).
Nancy Bailey is not painting at present- she says she is taking a Gap Year!
Incidentally that painting on the left has been sold but the one on the right is still available at the time of writing.
