This stunning painting of a Fieldfare by the late John Shepperd, was never framed, my father had kept it in a folder, so I decided it deserved to be framed and very pleased with the finished picture.

Mother and I both loved this stunning painting by my father's close friend Mick Goodman, but framed very poorly by my father and the gold mount had leaked onto the painting and he hadn't even put it in straight, Lucy at Picturecraft and I discovered, after removing it from the frame! An inner mount was used in the re-framing to try and distract from the paper discolouring, I think its kind of worked!

UPDATE: Wednesday 16th November

 

After this post, I heard some very sad news that Mick had passed away only last Saturday! I don't know how old he was, but must have been a similar age to my father. I was going to ring Mick and his wife to tell him about the new frames and mounts for his pictures 😢

 

My most sincere condolences to his wife and to all his family and friends. Rest in peace Mick 🕊

 

I recall my father telling me that his mother (Grannie Hess) had done this beautiful pastel picture and frustratingly, I also recall him telling me where she painted this in Norfolk, but can't remember now – it might have been somewhere near North Walsham! Interestingly, the picture framers label on the back (below) says "Mrs Westmoor", who was our Great Great Aunt Ile and both she and Grannie Hess lived in Hunstanton – so did Grannie Hess gift this to Aunty Ile? Vivien (my sister) said she knew it was done by a relative, but she didn't think it was Grannie Hess – an unsolved mystery! I love the picture anyway, whoever did it – it used to hang on the wall below the landing in our family home, special memories.

The old mount card which was stuck to the pastel, was amazingly removed by Picturecraft
