When you stare at an old photo of someone for long enough it sometimes seems that you're getting to know them. After several leads came up with nothing, for my painting of Brud Petty I had to use the picture lent to me by Bridey Fitzpatrick. In it a youthful Brud - perhaps no more than 20 years old - stares back at me, grinning wildly. It must have been taken in the 30s or 40s at a guess.
