Hi,
<div>Having just read Sue’s very interesting article about Gerald Moore I felt compelled to say that back in the 50’s & 60’s Gerald Moore was our family dentist. He had a lot of his paintings in the surgery, one of them being a scene of a street fight with
knives that he painted after seeing the fight from the surgery window in New Cross. </div>
<div>He also sculpted very large abstract figures that he had around the grounds of his house. He could turn his hands to most things & had an operating theatre in the basement of the surgery. </div>
<div>Unfortunately he then started doing abortions which at that time was still illegal & was struck of the list! However it saved me from going to hospital when I had my wisdom teeth removed as he also did that in his operating theatre! </div>
<div>I have on occasion wondered if there was a connection in the name but never found out. I’m now wondering if there’s a connection with the sculptor Henry Moore?</div>
<div>Regards </div>
<div>Jean <br>

<div style="color:;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Adrian,
<div>I'd always wondered where the likes of Lucien Freud got all those odd skin colours from until I attended a brilliant course at Gerald Moore gallery. I think it was 3 or 4 days life drawing. One afternoon the tutor told us to have just 3 colours of pastels
- dark, medium and light. Then just pick out the areas with the appropriate tones. Hence purple cheeks, green nose and blue chin! Absolutely brilliant and very effective.</div>
<div>Thanks for the emails, etc.</div>
<div>Hope you and yours are well.</div>
<div>See you at the end of the tunnel, hopefully.</div>
