Tony's a master..probably about 84...can paint renaissance style anything..remember as a young kid Tony being a very rare artist in that if he went to the dentist etc he could pay with a painting or drawing ...fantastic guy haven't seen him in many years....in his car one night after a restaurant in Carlton we were shocked when Tony for our amusement suddenly mounted the curb took a diagonal shortcut through the Fitzroy Gardens to East Melb..lol
Rick was more reserved not that i had a lot to do with him but remember him for while using our disused farm dairy as a studio when i was about 10...met him next about 20 yrs later and confessed i had a painting he'd left behind .He asked which one and said that's ok you can i keep it..lol
