Liggysasha Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm not sure how well known he is in the USA, but the miniature UK artist Philip Hanton died last weekend. He was only 65 years young. He and his wife are friends on my mother's. At the moment I'm not too clear on the cause of death, but it was very unexpected. A sudden heart attack I believe. My thoughts and prayers go out to Gillian (Philip's wife) and her family. Here's a link to a topic about him a few months ago - Miniature Paintings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
