SWEET MARY

I live & work with those of greater age & wisdom than myself, I feel blessed by this around me' and am fascinated by the stories they tell. Sweet Mary lost her keys today so as I searched high & low she told me tales of her younger days, how she was brought up as a little girl by David Hockney's mother when, following the death of her Father in the first world war, her Mother couldn't cope and so took her to stay with Mrs Hockney where she believes her love of art started. She is surrounded in her little apartment by bright, vivid paintings she's produced over the last seventy five years, by it's a good job this.
