My Art teacher from 30 years ago has passed away, he nurtured my strengths at school, sending me on an extraordinary journey (that's been a rollercoaster at times but that's down to my own shortcomings). I have put one of his paintings on my wall, as a mark of respect. It's called 'Looters', painted after the 2011 riots. He was a superb teacher and a sublime artist. RIP Alan.
