A Personal Tribute from Peter Vincent PS

I got to know Pauline twenty odd years ago, as I played golf with her husband Peter, and was much impressed with her paintings and untidy studio.

My wife and I often went for trips out with Peter and Pauline and friends, to places like Dungeness, us to walk, Pauline to paint plein air.

I had used pastel in my design work illustrations and was encouraged by Pauline (a PS committee member) to join the Pastel Society.

Sadly her painting years came to an end due to Parkinson's disease with her final years spent in a care home.

A generous and lovely friend.
