I am sad to inform you that Galdino DeSouza, a fellow villager in Socorro, Goa, died peacfully yesterday morning(7th December) at the age of 81. Galdino took up painting after he retired and came to Goa, and his paintings have been distributed widely both in Goa and other countries. He also exhibited his paintings at the Kala Academy in Goa, and the Goan Heritage Exhibition at Fontainhas, Panjim earlier this year. His specialty was the painting of our native clay pots. He painted still life pictures of pots of various shapes and colors in various positions and lighting. A slight un-assumimng person, Galdino had many friends, and was widely known. He took long walks every day through the village, and I sometimes joined him on his walks. He was very active till the morning of his demise. The funeral will take place on Monday, December 8 at 10:30 a.m. at our Lady of Socorro Church in Socorro, Bardez, Goa.
