Happening right now is the funeral of artist Bruer Tidman in Great Yarmouth at The Minster. Unfortunately I can't be there but I would like to pay tribute to this much-loved man and extremely talented artist, one of the famous Yarmouth Five, along with John Kiki, Bridget Heriz, Katarzyna Coleman and Emrys Hughes. I know he has been ill for a couple of years and during that time he posted many images of his past works. I was amazed at the quality of the work and would call him a Great Master, exceptional not only in Norfolk but also in the country - I am sure he will go down in history that way. I know that there will be many, many fellow artists at his funeral who will miss him and his generous spirit. I didn't know him that well but often used to meet him at private views - I will miss him too. A great loss fr the art world and also his friends and family. Rest well Bruer
