A Family of Artists

PETE PERRY

Pete Perry had been drawing for as long as he can remember, doing comic strips for a school comic in the Forties, to illustrating horticulture features in magazines and books.

Here is some of his artwork, including Interchangable drumskins for the rock band 'GYPPSY', and scraper-boards designs for 'GARDENERS CHRONICLE'...'

Pete may have won praise for his artwork, - but it runs in the family...

Pete's daughter

CORINA PERRY

Corina drew these on the wall of her children's nursery...

... and from my Second Cousin (My cousin Florrie's son)

TERRY RAWSON

Remember, you can enlarge by clicking on the bottom Right-hand corner of each picture

We have many more of Terry's work, and we will change them every so often...

Now onto My Mum's sister, Cousin's Carol Hawkes and Tricia Lewis's mum, and grandmother to Chesney Hawkes, Jodie Hawkes and Keely Hawkes ...

HILDA DILWORTH

Hilda Dilworth's (Pete's Aunt, Carol Hawkes' mum and Chesney Hawkes Nan) created these birthday and Christmas Cards...

... and a few more of Harold Card's artwork... from his daughter Linda...

Uncle Harold Card...

This drawing was recently found by Betty Card, whilst sorting out her brother Bert's belongings. It is by Harol Card, Pete & Betty's Uncle, and father to Janet and Linda...

We have Shown you the Hand-drawn Christmas Cards sent to our intrepid couple by Pete's cousin Kenneth Card (above) - now we present more artwork from this talented family, going right back to Pete's Uncles Herbert (Bert), Alf and Harold, right up to date...

PART TWO: The second generation (Pete's generation)...

We have already seen Pete's cousin KENNY CARD's Christmas cards, - so here are other examples of his paintings...

ABOVE: KENNETH CARD, RSM CARD (Retired) with his painting of AFRICAN ELEPHANTS.

Two tranquil village scenes by Ken, and (Below) Ken's amazing amalgamate picture of the World's landmarks - how many can you name?

More of Ken's artwork later, but here (below) are some by his sister BETTY CARD...

ABOVE: Pete's cousin BETTY CARD with her drawings of Elvis and John Lennon.

Now Betty's Real name is VALERIE, though her mother wanted to call her VALENTINE, as she was born on Valentine's day. Until, that is, her dad, Bert, pointed out that she would be VALENTINE CARD!

However, Betty prefers to be known by a shortened version of her second name, ELIZABETH.

Betty and Ken's older brother was called Herbert, after his father, but was always known as BERTIE - whereas their younger sister BERYL was Christened FLORENCE, and prefers her second name, BERYL...

BERYL does not want her pictured shown here, but above is BERTIE, BETTY and KEN, with BERYL's drawing of BERTIE when he was in the army...

and below are more examples of BERYL's artwork...
