    Hi,

    Your father was Grimey wasn't he? My father was an artist, John Wynne-Morgan and was a friend of his. He met him in Ibiza and then Grimey visited us a number of times when we moved to Mallorca in 1970. I'd love to see some of your father's paintings, he was an exquisite artist. Is there a website anywhere or art gallery that has some of his work?
    Regards
    Sally

    Please do you have a contact for Sally nee Wynne-Morgan, her father taught me to paint in Mallorca when I was about 8 - 12 years old and I would so love to see some of his painting again. They moved back to England and we never saw his family agin.

    I do not know of any particular source of his paintings.Perhaps searching the Internet galleries the best bet and keep looking locally for Ibiza is where he did most of his work.

    I and my brother had our portraits painted by Leslie Grimes in about 1961 and very fine portraits they are too.
    We sat at his studio in Ibiza. I seem to remember that his studio was an old moorish palace.

    My great-uncle started visiting Ibiza in the mid 1950' and became friendly with "Grimey". He bought a painting "Girl with guitar" which he left to my aunt and which came to me this year. Much loved and much admired. Simon

    I have a painting entitled San Francisco Xavier that my Father bought in the early 1960's. He is interested in selling it. I came upon this site, so I thought I would put it up. If anyone is interested, please email.

    Leslie Grimes painted an oil still life for me as a gift - a rose in a jar with an earthenware pot. Late 70's.
    I can supply a picture but not thinking of selling.

    My Aunt and cousin lived with Grimey in his 'Castle' about 40 years ago. I remember during the weeks that we visited them and him from South Africa, he showed me how to stretch his canvasses for his paintings. I only remember the Ibiza village scenes at that time. It was during that visit when he gave a painting to the Bee Gees parents - The Gibbs, as a gift for a generous school donation they had given. I often wondered what happened to him. Quite a character... grindley-ferris0043@shaw.ca

    My father was Bill Williams and a friend of Grimey. I was taken to his home in the Old Palace several times as a young girl. I own two paintings one of a bay and the other, a beach and greatly cherish them as a reminder of my childhood. By the way, my father built the house that the Bee Gees bought for their parents. susellis@aol.com

    We have had a house in Ibiza since 1970. We have 5 or 6 Grimes paintings including a portrait of my father. They are favourite paintings and really how the heat and dust of the hot summers.
