Seventy years ago I remember playing with a cheap metal figurine, while we were on holiday in the small East Yorkshire town of Withernsea. It rained a lot there.
The object had been bought from a gift shop and was in the shape of three wise monkeys 'Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil'.
It sat on a shelf in my grandparents house for many years and eventually my mother must have inherited it. When the house was sold, I finally claimed the object and it has been sitting in my studio for a while now.
It is one of the 'Withernsea' objects for the new painting I am working on, entitled
'Forget-Me- Nots '.
You can spot the monkeys at the start of a TV news item I was featured in recently.
It appears at the top of the MEDIA page on my website.
