Oh, I love this piece. For everything it is. A little glimpse into your life back then. And, the painting! How I wish you had the original. But, I guess it is there for all of us to enjoy. Just lovely, Lorraine.

Nicole: A wonderful memory to share on a day in which you remember your grandfather (those cheeseburgers were good!). If I saw his painting on the wall, odds are I’d know it. I grew to love each and every one of those incredible faces Neil memorialized and that gallery at Molly’s truly made the place more special. Thank you for stopping by to leave a comment; really sweet to share a glimpse of a time and place we both knew; sympathies to you on tomorrow’s poignant anniversary. LDW

My grandfather was one of the few approached by Neil. His name was Richard Allen Clarke and he was a friend of Neil’s, a fellow artist, and a regular at Molly Malones sometime in the 1960s or 1970s. He had an affinity for shrouded bars, an ice-cold glass of Coors, and a classic Cheeseburger.

He died 13 years ago tomorrow. I believe Neil’s painting of him still hangs behind the bar now, although it was previously closer to a large illuminated sign on the way to the kitchen. And judging by your description of Neil, I now understand why they were such good friends.

Great piece.

Elvina: Thanks, I’m glad you like the look of the blog. I think the visual is important, as it’s what draws your eye in when you first open the page. I’d suggest finding a theme you like (Word Press has many) and then design your banner/header artwork to work with that theme. Good luck! LDW
