I got a call from a neighbour who had seen my 'LUNCH' painting at a local exhibition. I feel honoured that he has bought it for his wife's 50th Birthday. I painted this painting on Trevone beach, a family having lunch, unaware that the seagull many feet above them had their san dwiches in its sights!
