Ink Sketch Drawing "Out with the Old" Signed by Artist 1989 Unframed OOAK Art

Description: DRAWING by Clifford Richards in 1989 A Pen & Pencil Sketch entitled - "Out with the Old" Dimensions:- 35cm X 28cm ABOUT THE ARTIST CLIFFORD FRANCES RICHARDS (21/06/1921 - 31/07/1998) was born in Queensland to Irish-Australian parents. A boilermaker/welder by trade, Cliff worked in Brisbane, Perth and Papua New Guinea before retiring to Bribie Island on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in the early 1980s. A staunch family man, Cliff and his wife of many years, Coral raised 3 daughters who all in turn followed them to retire on Bribie. When he passed away, Cliff was adored by 6 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. An intelligent man, Cliff found it impossible to sit still. He was passionate about fishing, gardening and was an accomplished lawn bowler. Cliff painted in watercolours as well as oils. Many works were sketched in charcoal or pen and pencil. He was entirely self taught. When he needed a break from painting or drawing, Cliff designed and built his own unique pieces of wooden furniture. Cliff was witty, quick to laugh and joke and had an extraordinary memory. He is dearly missed. Whilst his art was revered by the family during its production, the full extent of Cliff’s talent and the number of works he completed were not realised until they were virtually stumbled over in storage some 20 years after his passing.
