Excerpts: People from all walks of life in Cornwall will be shocked and saddened to learn that the artist John Miller has died at home, just one week before his 71st birthday. …It was typical of his thought for others that, subsequent to a recent prolonged visit to Goa in India, he was planning to return there to set up an establishment to help improve the education and job prospects of its children. A memorial service is being held at 12 noon on August 2, in St Mary's Church, Penzance.

Western Morning News 6 June 2002 at: http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=77707&command=dis playContent&sourceNode=77259&contentPK=1854191 Excerpts: One of the Westcountry's best-known artists, John Miller, whose azure blue seascapes with pure white sandy beaches are collectors' items, is selling his studio with its own beach house at Lelant overlooking St Ives Bay - and going to Goa. "Goa is a wonderful place for my rheumatism," he says. "I spent three months out there last winter, and it was superb. The BBC came out to film me, and the presenter walked straight past me because he didn't recognise me. He said I looked 20 years younger! "The hot climate was simply wonderful for my health. So I've decided to lease a house there for the next five years, and I shall go there every winter." John will hold an exhibition of his Goan paintings in London next year. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3. Financial Times (FT.Com) 21 June 2002. Excerpts: …Because of the onset of arthritis Miller spent three months in Goa last winter, and he has now leased a house there. His plan is to go to the Indian Ocean island for the winters and paint Goa's beaches even though the light there is hazier than in Cornwall, and to interact with Goans whom he loves to paint. Wintering in Goa does not mean abandoning Cornwall. "I shall always paint Cornwall. I ran away here from London in 1958 and I've just written a book published here called Seeing is Believing. It is really a sort of autobiography. I enjoy principally the light of Cornwall and also the pace of life. "People in Cornwall have time to talk to each other. And in Goa now it's as it was when I first came here - children stop and talk to you." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There clearly is a need to help organise the exhibition of his Goan paintings in London next year, especially if the proceeds can be used towards his Goa project. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
