He would have enjoyed them with the shy laugh we knew so well. Bailey: We always thought Harry had put himself as a child and what he would become as an old man in his paintings, so you’re probably right.

I am wondering if that is Harry himself in the last of the paintings here?
I am also touched by Harry and Ruby’s long marriage.

I am pleased to note that Mr Harry T. Harmer was a friend of flat caps (so am I)! Most of his painted men wear one.

Love & Peace

GA, oh, I just love that first painting St Botolph’s Without Aldgate, 1963 that you have featured before on this site. It reminds me of my own church going days as a child, particularly during Lent.

So glad to know that he enjoyed his wife Ruby’s support through life despite his illness. Great story.
