In October 1979 i passed my driving test, a few months later i bought my first car. In the summer months of 1980 i drove down to the seaside town of Newquay in cornwall where my family and i holidayed, whilst out shopping one day we visited a local art gallery and bought our first oil painting. The painting was signed at the bottom right handside "Hilton."

My painting is still in it's original frame and has hung in all the houses i have ever lived in since the of summer 1980, alas i have lost the receipt of how much i paid for it all those years ago, probably with the frame it all came to less than Ł50.
The owner of the gallery told me after i had bought it that if i ever wanted to, i could bring it back and exchange it if i ever got tired of it in the future.
