It is true that as we grow older, more and more of us hear of the passing of friends and family dear to us, so we attend more funerals than weddings. Sometimes, our friends and family are taken it seems, in the twinkling of an eye, into eternity. Presently, we are missing special friends who have impacted our lives for good.

International Watercolourist and legend, Mr Robert Wade (94yrs) is one such person. We send our sincere condolences to his family and can celebrate his life, the legacy he is leaving behind for all the art world to treasure. Sadly, I have only just discovered this news within the latest edition of the Art of Watercolour magazine.

If you have read the history section of this website, you will discover how I first met Bob in one of his books, Watercolour Workshop Handbook, before befriending him when he joined Facebook. He was a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute. (awi.com.au)
