Just a short post to say that I was saddened to read today that Tony Hart is no longer able to paint or draw as a result of two strokes. He is very stoical about it, saying, 'I endeavour to stay cheerful, as there is nothing to be done about my condition.' Clearly though, it must be a terrible loss to someone whose life revolved around his art.
It struck me how much time I spent as a child watching this gentle man create his works of art. and the enormous amount of pleasure I got from it. My brother even had a picture featured on The Gallery of two West Ham footballers going up for a header.
So, here's to you, Tony Hart. You touched an awful lot of lives, and reading about you today made me realise that you were a valued part of my childhood that I look upon fondly.

Poor old Tony; he died today, aged 83.
I hope he knew how many lives he touched; he was a legend.
