Description: Drawing "ORIGINAL ALICE SPRINGS 1871" Unframed Original Ink Sketch 1993 by Artist Clifford F. Richards Dimensions:- 42cm X 29cm ABOUT THE ARTIST CLIFFORD FRANCES RICHARDS (21/06/1921 - 31/07/1998) was born in Queensland to Irish-Australian parents. A boilermaker/welder by trade, Cliff worked in Brisbane, Perth and Papua New Guinea before retiring to Bribie Island on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in the early 1980s. A staunch family man, Cliff and his wife of many years, Coral raised 3 daughters who all in turn followed them to retire on Bribie. When he passed away, Cliff was adored by 6 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. An intelligent man, Cliff found it impossible to sit still. He was passionate about fishing, gardening and was an accomplished lawn bowler. Cliff painted in watercolours as well as oils. Many works were sketched in charcoal or pen and pencil. He was entirely self taught. When he needed a break from painting or drawing, Cliff designed and built his own unique pieces of wooden furniture. Cliff was witty, quick to laugh and joke and enjoyed a hearty debate. He is dearly missed. Whilst his art was revered by the family during its production, the full extent of Cliff’s talent and the number of works he completed were not realised until they were virtually stumbled upon in storage some 20 years after his passing
