An artistic streak runs in my family, from my mother's side.  She was a student at the Wolverhampton College of Art.

One of her classmates, Mr. Wright, became Principal of the College and held that position when I attended it on a day-release course from the Technical High School and subsequently when my brother attended full time.

The following six items are some of my brother's water colours.

I had a fiddle with a couple of graphics programs and did this .....

They're made from drinks cans, and I think they're truly works of art.
