"You Say He Was Painting" [RETI]

Peter Cushing, who portrayed Sherlock Holmes on the big and small screens, was best known for his acting abilities. Indeed, a certain generation probably grew up knowing him best as Grand Moff Tarkin in the original Star Wars movie. But to those who knew the man more intimately or who followed his off-stage persona, he was also a talented watercolor artist.
Earlier this week, 25 lots of his paintings were auctioned off in Kent. You may know that Pilgrims Hospice in Kent, where Cushing died, had been selling calendars featuring his watercolors. Thirteen of those paintings were included in the auction, which raised £25,000.

I don't know if the calendars are still available. You might try getting in touch with Pilgrims at:
