Carol [Gibbons] has some pastels of mine all related to the places Joan painted the mains the raith the beach Slain park Kineff the Crawton the village the sunset the sheep the rain the sun the wheat the corn the binder the horses the pub the Johnny Walker bottles the taxi the shop the petrol pump and the whole bloody disappointing set up.. (21st June 1980).
